+# Webpage_Update_Tracker
+
+A script that helps the user track any updates to a webpage
+
+It takes a snapshot of the webpage and saves it with a filename corresponding to the date and time when it was taken
+
+## Setup instructions
+
+- Install geckodriver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/tag/v0.30.0
+
+- Extract the geckodriver executable and add it to PATH
+
+- You also need selenium, which is a third party Python library. So
+
+    ```bash
+    pip install selenium
+    ```
+
+- Run the script using `python3 main.py`. It will prompt the user to enter the link to the specific webpage. Do that and output image will be generated.
