Installing Selenium and ChromeDriver on Ubuntu

I recently got Selenium, Google Chrome, and ChromeDriver installed and working on a DigitalOcean instance running 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04. Here’s how:

First, install Google Chrome for Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libxss1 libappindicator1 libindicator7wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.debsudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.debsudo apt-get install -f

Now, let’s install xvfb so we can run Chrome headlessly:

sudo apt-get install xvfb

Install ChromeDriver:1

sudo apt-get install unzipwget -N http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.20/chromedriver_linux64.zipunzip chromedriver_linux64.zipchmod +x chromedriversudo mv -f chromedriver /usr/local/share/chromedriversudo ln -s /usr/local/share/chromedriver /usr/local/bin/chromedriversudo ln -s /usr/local/share/chromedriver /usr/bin/chromedriver

Install some Python dependencies for Selenium:

sudo apt-get install python-pip## (Optional) Create and enter a virtual environment:# sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv# virtualenv env# source env/bin/activatepip install pyvirtualdisplay selenium

Now, we can do stuff like this with Selenium in Python:

from pyvirtualdisplay import Displayfrom selenium import webdriverdisplay = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))display.start()driver = webdriver.Chrome()driver.get(‘http://christopher.su‘)print driver.title

Footnotes

1: You can find all the ChromeDriver releases here. If you’re using a 32-bit system or a non-Linux OS, the ChromeDriver download used above won’t work.
