# setup RPA environment by installing PHP, Chromium web browser and TagUI Linux version
!apt-get update; apt install php; apt install chromium-browser; wget https://github.com/kelaberetiv/TagUI/releases/download/v6.14.0/TagUI_Linux.zip; unzip TagUI_Linux.zip; cd tagui/src; wget -O tagui https://gist.githubusercontent.com/kensoh/b12a350513268df5456165180dbee6a6/raw/0947f8d53d5744eb7c51ba0a06448fc8b33b06ab/tagui
# run sample GitHub workflow showing license for TagUI project and downloading source code

# validate that the downloaded source code zip file exists and show the file's properties
!ls -l TagUI-master.zip
# [OPTIONAL] with Chrome browser you can download RPA output files to computer or phone
from google.colab import files; files.download('TagUI-master.zip')
updated TagUI on the cloud (Colab notebook) to v6.53
Updated to v.6.68 and also, upgrade to using a virtual display instead of headless mode.
This opens up usage on a broader range of websites as some will block headless browsers.
