== Short setup guide for installing the chromedriver ==

= Debian based systems =

Install the Chromium browser as well as the chromedriver:

$ sudo apt-get install chromium-browser chromium-chromedriver

Please remember to add `/usr/lib/chromium-browser/ to your PATH

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/chromium-browser/

Then check that it is working as expected:

$ chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 2.24

If you get the following error message instead:

"chromedriver: error while loading shared libraries: libui_base.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Then add the library path of the chrome browser:

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/chrome_lib.conf'

$ sudo ldconfig

And check again:

$ chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 2.24
