我如何知道要在我的 VPS 上安装哪个 Chrome 二进制文件？

Question

I am attempting to do some web scraping from my VPS and I have already installed selenium and the chromedriver, however, now it looks like I need the Chrome binary in order to make everything work as expected.

I am on a Linux private server, how do I which binary to install to make my scraping work?

Answer 1

Install any Chrome version with automatic update enabled or not.

Download it here:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Install (Debian):

sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Install (Ubuntu):

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Then use this package Webdriver Manager for Python

How to install it

pip3 install webdriver-manager

How to use it

from selenium import webdriver

from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

with webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install()) as driver:
   ...

The package will identify the Chrome version installed and will fetch on github the proper driver binary. (If needed)
