## Installation

You can install Selestium using pip:

```
pip install selestium
```

## Dependencies for Termux

And you are ready to go..

## Dependencies for Linux
In Linux also you need get [Firefox dependencies](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/124.0.1/system-requirements/).

Please note that GNU/Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements.

Firefox will not run at all without the following libraries or packages:
glibc 2.17 or higher
GTK+ 3.14 or higher
libglib 2.42 or higher
libstdc++ 4.8.1 or higher
X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)

```

## Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use Selestium to render a web page and extract information:

### Make a Request Without Rendering:

```python
from Selestium import HTMLRequests

# Initialize a HTMLRequests instance with default settings (Firefox browser)
req = HTMLRequests()

# Make a GET request to a web page without rendering
response = req.get("https://www.example.com")

# Extract information from the response
print(response.content)
```

### Make a Request With Rendering:

```python
from Selestium import HTMLRequests

# Initialize a HTMLRequests instance with Firefox browser
req = HTMLRequests(browser='firefox')

# Get a web page and render it using the browser
response = req.get("https://www.example.com", render=True)

# Extract information from the rendered page
titles = response.find("h1")
for title in titles:
    print(title.text)
```

### Using the Controller Method:

```python
from Selestium import HTMLRequests

# Initialize a HTMLRequests instance with Chrome browser
req = HTMLRequests(browser='chrome')

# Get the browser controller (WebDriver) instance
driver = req.browser_controller()

# Navigate to a web page
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Perform additional actions using the browser controller
# For example, click a button or fill out a form
# driver.find_element_by_id("button_id").click()
```
