Project description
Goes to the wikipedia page given and gets the first paragraph summary along with related pages and table if there is one.
How to compile and run the program
On Ubuntu or WSL:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
pip install requests beutifulsoup pandas
python3 FinalProject3.py
UI Design
The code simply asks the user for the URL of the page wanted and outputs the rest of the page.

Additional Considerations
The program requires some additional instalations, which can be difficult if you are not on Ubuntu or don’t have a machine that can run a WSL environment. Even after, there are some extentions needed to run the parcing code.
