The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

Update: There are much better ways of accomplishing the same, and the script has been updated to use a much simpler method pulling directly from browserify-cdn. See this thread for details: mathisonian/requirify#5

	#Import library essentials
	from sumy.parsers.plaintext import PlaintextParser #We're choosing a plaintext parser here, other parsers available for HTML etc.
	from sumy.nlp.tokenizers import Tokenizer
	from sumy.summarizers.lex_rank import LexRankSummarizer #We're choosing Lexrank, other algorithms are also built in

	file = "plain_text.txt" #name of the plain-text file
	parser = PlaintextParser.from_file(file, Tokenizer("english"))
	summarizer = LexRankSummarizer()

	summary = summarizer(parser.document, 5) #Summarize the document with 5 sentences

	# This script will pull the Chilcot PDFs from the publisher site and convert them to html
	# ready for import into your favourite CMS or NLP pipeline for further processing

	brew install tidy-html5
	brew install parallel
	brew install xpdf
	# Alternatively
	# brew install poppler

	# or build from
