Description: # About
        Main objective is to secure fast deployment of crawler system that will help you setup all that you need to 
        get started with data mining interactively over cmd/terminal.
        Concept is based on long working experience and mistakes that have been learned over the years in data mining 
        and database arhitecture. It could save you a lot of time and effort using this framework.
        Currently works on Win OS.
        
        # Installation
        Most important thing is that you have python 3 installed on your machine. 
        
        **With virtual environment (recommended)**<br>
        To be able to make virtual environment you will need to ```pip3.7 install virtualenv```
        Location of your virtual environment on WinOS shoud be ```C:\Users\YourUsername\Envs```
        Then create virtual environment ```py -3.7 -m virtualenv Envs/crawler_framework``` <br>
        By default now your virtual environment should be active if it isn't activate your virtual 
        environment by writing ```workon crawler_framework```  <br>
        Now you can install library  ```pip install crawler_framework```
        
        **Without virtual environment**<br>
        Just open cmd and write ```pip3.7 install crawler_framework```. This option is ok if you have only one version 
        of python installed on your system. But if you have more python version installed and you decide to go with this 
        option you will have to finish some additional question's during configuration of crawler framework. 
        Like that it will be ensured that everything works ether way.
        
        # Setup
        ## Database configuration
        Before we can deploy anything we must setup connection strings for one or more database 
        servers that we are going to use.
        Currently supported are PostgreSQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
        
        <i>It is recommended to create database on your server that will only be used by framework. </i>
        
        
        Open cmd/terminal and write  ```config.py```. If everything goes well you should see this options below. 
        It is possible that program asks for some additional information if you have more than one python interpreter 
        installed on your machine and you did not use virtual environment. But it will be required only once.
        
        ![dbconfig](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DraganMatesic/crawler_framework/master/images/config.PNG)
        
        Create all database connection's that you think you will use, from database where you will deploy crawler_framework 
        to database where you will store data etc. by selecting option number 1 and then database option number one.

        ### Hints
        **Microsoft SQL Server** <br>
         If you are using default option be sure to define in ODBC Data sources administrator dsn name that will have 
         default database that will be used for framework. If you are using pymssql you will define server_ip, port and database 
         during database configuration stage.
         
        ## Deploying framework
        Open cmd/terminal and write  ```config.py```. Select option 2 (Deploy framework) and then select option from 
        the list of connections you created that is going to be used for deployment. This will deploy table structure in selected database 
        on selected server connection. In our case we will deploy it on PostgreSQL localhost server.
        
        ## Setup tor expert bundle
        You can skip this if you are not planing to use tor as your proxy provider but only public proxies.
        
        Open cmd/terminal and write  ```config.py```. Select option 4 (Tor setup). Then from to setup option select option 1(Install), 
        this will automatically install tor expert bundle with all necessary directories and subdirectories. 
        
        If you have already have installed and then changed default options then this will reset those options back to default just like some kind of reinstall.
        
        Setup option 2 (Tor options) allows you to change some of defaults when constructing our tor network such as 
        how many tor instances should run in same time or how long time must pass before changing and identity of tor instance.
        
        ## Starting proxy server
        Proxy server is multifunctional program that acquires new proxies(crawlers), test proxies, creates tor network etc.
        
        Open cmd/terminal and write  ```config.py```. Select option 3 (Run proxy server).
        ### Suboptions
        From suboptions you can select suboption 0 to run all both public proxy and tor service or suboption 1 to run only public proxy gatherer or
        suboption 2 to run only tor service. <br><br>
        Suboption 2 is great if you want to run tor service on another pc inside your network. 
        By doing so you can increase number of tor that will run but it will not hog your local CPU and RAM.
        <br><br>
        All data will be saved in database where you have deployed crawler_framewok.
        If you didn't made deployment then this will probably end with exceptions.
