1
+ # @aloud/runner
2
+
3
+ Runs [Aloud](https://usealoud.com) usability studies in a real browser **on your own machine**.
4
+
5
+ That is the whole point of it. The browsers run here, so a study can open `localhost`, a staging
6
+ site behind your VPN, or anything else Aloud's servers could never reach. The connection is
7
+ outbound only: nothing listens on a port, and the server holds no address for this machine.
8
+
9
+ ```sh
10
+ npm install -g @aloud/runner
11
+
12
+ aloud login # paste the token from usealoud.com/app/settings/runners
13
+ aloud start # waits for studies and runs them here
14
+ ```
15
+
16
+ The first `aloud start` downloads Chromium, about 350 MB, once.
17
+
18
+ ## Commands
19
+
20
+ | Command | What it does |
21
+ | --- | --- |
22
+ | `aloud login [--token <token>]` | Connect this machine to your workspace |
23
+ | `aloud start [--once] [--quiet]` | Wait for studies and run them here |
24
+ | `aloud status` | What is set up, what is not, and whether it is running |
25
+ | `aloud allow <host>` | Let studies open this host from this machine |
26
+ | `aloud logout` | Forget the token on this machine |
27
+
28
+ ## What it will open
29
+
30
+ A machine starts allowed to open `localhost` only. Anything else has to be added here, with
31
+ `aloud allow <host>`, and that list lives on this machine in `~/.aloud/credentials.json`. Nothing
32
+ the server sends can add to it, so a study offered for a host you never allowed is refused rather
33
+ than run.
34
+
35
+ The token is stored in that same file at mode 0600, and `aloud logout` deletes it. Revoking a
36
+ machine from the web app takes effect immediately, including for a study already running.
37
+
38
+ Requires Node 20 or newer. Source: <https://github.com/dfala/user-testing-ai>
