Hi Howard,

it might've been a bug that slipped in one of the earlier versions. Could you please git pull the latest version and try it again?

Hi,

O.K. I just did that.

I still get the same error message (as above).

You may need to run cargo install --path . -f to build the latest version and then overwrite the previous local installation of monolith. I was able to save the page you mentioned above using the latest version, here's my output:

$ monolith -V
monolith 2.0.14

I would recommend using the -j flag before the URL to save the page without scripts, as it seems like NYT attempts to display some modal/overlay upon page load (to sell some paid subscription or something like that).

O.K. Please give me the exact command(s) to type in Terminal to do this. Thanks! Howard

[snshn]

Sure! To update to the latest version this should do the trick:

cd monolith
git pull
cargo install --force --path .

After doing that, this should save the page and render it as a readable document while offline:

monolith -j https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/25/world/europe/g7-iran-trump-biarritz.html > test.html

Please let me know if it worked for you.
