Automation

Windows

1. Create a new .cmd file (e.g., google-search.cmd) with the following content:

@echo off
python "C:\path\to\google_search_websites.py" %*
Replace C:\path\to\ with the actual path to the directory containing the google_search_websites.py script.

Press Win + X and select "System." Click on "Advanced system settings" and then click on "Environment Variables."

In the "System variables" section, find the "Path" variable, select it, and click "Edit."

Click "New" and add the path to the directory containing the google-search.cmd file (e.g., C:\scripts\).

Click "OK" to save the changes.

Now you can use the google-search command followed by your search query in the Command Prompt.

macOS and Linux
Open your terminal and run the following command to create an alias for the script:
bash
Copy code
echo 'alias google-search="python /path/to/google_search_websites.py"' >> ~/.bashrc
Replace /path/to/ with the actual path to the directory containing the google_search_websites.py script.

Run source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes to the current session.
