Great idea, but automated installer might not be ready for prime time.

Automated install did not detect existing Python 3.6 on OSX, created quite the mess...

Also, defaults to using google chrome vs. chromium when both are installed.

Yup, I totally agree (I'm the creator @pirate on Github).

I personally don't like automated setup scripts, which is one of the reasons I spent a bunch of time on our Manual Install docs: https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Install

Pip, apt, & homebrew packages are the install methods we're moving towards currently. I just caved to user demand in the short-term and added a helper script about a year ago as a crutch until we finished releasing the real packages.

Stay tuned for updates on that progress here: https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/issues/120
