How to use the scripts?

For LINUX/MACOS users, to start Zalenium with a desired number of containers via CLI:

szalenium 3

The above command will create 3 containers. If you do not pass the argument (3), a message asking for the number will be prompted in the terminal, waiting for your input (it accepts only numbers).

For LINUX users, to start Docker via CLI:

sdocker

It it will verify if the Docker daemon is already running. If so, it will notify you by a console message. Otherwise, it will start the docker service.

Get Weather from the CLI script - available on Linux and MACOS

alias weather='python3 ~/cli-scripts/get_weather.py' 

Do not forget to follow the 4th and 5th step as well.
