you don't have to install from source code. Easily you can just run the command to install:

sudo apt-get install libweb-scraper-perl

But you have to enable "Universe" repository if you don't have it yet.

To do that open software center. Click on 'edit' and then 'software sources' to open the software sources window. Once that is open, check the box that says, "Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe)."

Use the following commands:

cd
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libw/libweb-scraper-perl/libweb-scraper-perl_0.36.orig.tar.gz
tar xf libweb-scraper-perl_0.36.orig.tar.gz
cd Web-Scraper-0.36
cpan Web::Scraper
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install

  • This is a library. A library was not started. A library can be used by other programs. – A.B. May 22 '15 at 04:03

Go to the directory where you have downloaded libweb-scraper-perl_0.36.orig.tar.gz and run the following commands:

tar -zxvf libweb-scraper-perl_0.36.orig.tar.gz

This will extract the contents to a directory. Go to the directory by:

cd name-of-directory

and execute:

./configure
make
sudo make install

If the package is available from Ubuntu (I am sure it is) you can easily install this using the below command: 

sudo apt-get install libweb-scraper-perl

  • I tried but, it saying NO directory found in terminal – Adityan May 21 '15 at 05:28
  • you should replace name-of-directory with the actual name of directory which will be I guess something like 'libweb-scraper-perl'. Also since you are using 14.04 I think you should get the 0.37-1 version. You can get the .deb file from here and install it with sudo dpkg -i libweb-scraper-perl_0.37-1_all.deb – Ron May 21 '15 at 05:30
  • libweb-scraper-perl_0.36.orig.tar.gz is the file name before extraction, after extraction it is Web-Scraper-0.36 both files are in my desktop. – Adityan May 21 '15 at 05:32
  • please dont make me to jump from one to another, i want a solution to install any webscraping software in linux for running.. – Adityan May 21 '15 at 05:40
  • Just because I suggested doesn't mean you have to 'jump' to it. The end result of posting a question is getting one or two 'probable' solution(s). – Ron May 21 '15 at 05:43
