Using chromedriver with selenium/python/ubuntu

by

Following the suggestion from https://askubuntu.com/questions/539498/where-does-chromedriver-install-to I was able to make it work like this:

  1. Installed the chromium-chromedriver: 

    sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

  2. Adding the path to the selenium line: 

    driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver")

Note that this opens Chromium and not Chrome. Hope it was helpful.
