Excellent article..Thanks..immensely helpful.

thanks for the great article! just tried the localinstall

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-6-82 ~]$ cat /etc/system-release
Amazon Linux AMI release 2017.03
sudo yum --nogpgcheck localinstall https://intoli.com/blog/installing-google-chrome-on-centos/google-chrome-stable-60.0.3112.113-1.x86_64.rpm

it seems to work for me, but when i try to generate a pdf I'm getting some weird error messages. (the pdf is being generated though)

is this something I could fix?

Would appreciate any help in getting past this issue!

thanks for your share, when I execute the command on CentOS 6.6, I got the error message

Is it reasonable ? When I check with yum, the version of glibc seems should be 2.12
Should I build 2.14 and 2.15 on CentOs 6 ?
thanks for your reply

Then how run google-chrome?

After running google-chrome-stable --headless --disable-gpu I receive no errors but nothing seems to happen. Also I am trying to find where Chrome was installed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

P.S Great article! Spent forever trying to find this

I have Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga), Linux Bare Metal,

• curl https://intoli.com/install-google-chrome.sh | bash
• export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/google/chrome/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
• google-chrome-stable --headless --disable-gp

I get the following error:

cat: relocation error: /opt/google/chrome/lib/libc.so.6: catsymbol _dl_starting_up, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 with link time reference: relocation error: /opt/google/chrome/lib/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_starting_up, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 with link time reference

Any help is much appreciated.

I ran the installer script and got this error at the end:

Downloading packages:

However - it would seem to me that I have nss 3.28 installed:

$ rpm -qa | grep nss-3

nss-3.28.4-12.80.amzn1.x86_64

nss-3.28.4-12.80.amzn1.i686

I installed the script using curl https://intoli.com/install-google-chrome.sh | bash as per the Github comment It finished with the number of errors, but the success message in the very end:

THANK YOU, I was going crazy without your help!!! That script fixed it on my Amazon Linux AMI =)

Thank you so much for the resource – it almost, almost works!

Hi everyone, we just updated the script and it should be working with 6.9 now. If you run into any issues, then please include as much information about the system as possible in your comments. In particular, it's extremely helpful to include which AMI you're using if you're on AWS.

Hi,

Great article! Thank you for the very convenient script.

I ran the script against this AMI ID:

amzn-ami-hvm-2017.09.1.20180108-x86_64-gp2 (ami-32cf7b4a)

...which is a "Community AMI".

I got several errors, followed by: "Successfully installed google-chrome-stable, Google Chrome 64.0.3282.140 ."

I'm hesitant to feel confident that the installation of google-chrome-stable was successful when I see these errors outputted from the script:

Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-64.0.3282.140-1.x86_64 (google-chrome)

       Requires: libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0()(64bit)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Error: Could not find xdg-icon-resource

I then decided to try 'ldd' on the installed /opt/google/chrome/chrome, and I saw several "not found" entries:

$ ldd /opt/google/chrome/chrome | grep "not found"

libXcursor.so.1 => not found

libXdamage.so.1 => not found

libXfixes.so.3 => not found

libcups.so.2 => not found

libgconf-2.so.4 => not found

libXrandr.so.2 => not found

libXss.so.1 => not found

libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => not found

libpango-1.0.so.0 => not found

libcairo.so.2 => not found

libatk-1.0.so.0 => not found

libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 => not found

libgtk-3.so.0 => not found

libgdk-3.so.0 => not found

libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => not found

So my questions are, if you please...

1) Are the installation error messages valid, or can they be safely ignored?

2) At the end of installation, is it expected that 'ldd /opt/google/chrome/chrome' should find all libraries (and so return no "not found" entries)?

3) When I run 'google-chrome-stable --headless --disable-gpu', I see these errors:

[0205/063813.098944:ERROR:gpu_process_transport_factory.cc(1009)] Lost UI shared context.

[0205/063813.275826:ERROR:instance.cc(49)] Unable to locate service manifest for metrics

[0205/063813.275847:ERROR:service_manager.cc(890)] Failed to resolve service name: metrics

... and I'm particularly concerned about the "Lost UI shared context" error. Could you please tell me what effect you think this error will have on the stability of the chrome installation? Do you think this is a serious error message? I googled for the message and found a page describing the error with the exact "1009" line number (error code?), which is at https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/1464, but the solution there was just to stop using python with proxychains, which isn't relevant in my case.

I did later run with --screenshot:

google-chrome-stable --headless --screenshot http://www.google.com --disable-gpu

...and it did generate a 'screenshot.png' file in my CWD, but I'm not sure whether the passing of this basic test is a good indicator that there are no major issues with the google chrome installation, given all the errors and the "not found" chrome binary dependencies.

I would very much appreciate your help and guidance on the above concerns. Thank you very much for all your efforts! :-)

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I have been trying to do this for years!!! At first I wasn't sure it was going to work. but I tired and I can finally run my python selenium script with the google-chrome on Amazon AMI Linux I only needed to do some simlpe cmds to add to the path ln -s /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome /usr/bin/google-chrome

this article is still GREAT, however, there are no rpm package named google-chrome-stable now.

so this script fails at below code.

yumdownloader google-chrome-stable

you can change this line like below, download rpm package directly.

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

Please email contact@intoli.com with the details of your operating system. If you're using using AWS, please include the AMI identifier for the instance.

UPDATE: The upstream issue has been resolved, and everything should be working again.

Hey everybody, there's currently an upstream issue with the Google Chrome Yum repository. If you would like to get this resolved quickly, the best thing you can do right now is to leave a comment at this link confirming that you're experiencing the same problem (or at least vote for the issue).

In the meantime, I've updated the script to download the RPM directly using the link that @posaunehm's provided. The script should be working again for the time being, let me know if you run into any other issues.

Could you write such scripts for Iron browser and Visual Studio Code? It would be nice!

Thank you in advance

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I ran into an issue with this install script on docker using the amazonlinux:2018.03 container image. If the installation fails, it is probably because you need to cap_add:SYS_ADMIN when you run the container since the ldd.sh script (created by this script) uses mount --bind.

Thank you so much for this script! I was wondering what will be the process to fully remove it from instance?

After installing install-google-chrome.sh. My ec2 instance getting this errors:

Should I try manually fixing them as you described? It seems that your script already taking care of it.

Hi. I'm getting the following error:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Please consider adding latest chromedriver to the installation. I hacked your script to make it download dependencies for chromedriver after installation, however my bash skills suck hard to make it download chromedriver , elfpatch it , check for errors etc .

anyway , fantastic job.

This is an insane process but it worked for me.

Patching to use a different glibc is something I would have never considered on my own.

We found a bug today in which this line actually returns two packages, separated via a new line (replace $file with "libwayland-egl.so.1" to see this in action):

package=$(repoquery --repofrompath=centos7,http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/arch\ --repoid=centos7 -q --qf="%{name}" --whatprovides "$file")

We're not sure if that's intended behavior or not from repoquery, but it causes the install_package function to fail. Our fix was to simply take the first package whenever this occurs. E.g. add the following above install_package "${package}" in the install_missing_dependencies function:

# If multiple packages are returned, choose the 1st one.

package=(${package//$'\n'/ })

Thanks a lot for the article and the provided script. I'm using if for quite some time to install google chrome on EMR machines.

Lately the script doesn't finish and ends in an endless loop:

Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1
Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1
Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1
Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1
Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1
...

The reason is that the repoquery to find libwayland-egl.so.1 package returns 2 lines

$ package=$(repoquery --repofrompath=centos7,http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/`arch` \
                --repoid=centos7 -q --qf="%{name}" --whatprovides "$file")
$ echo $package
mesa-libwayland-egl libwayland-egl

Adding | head -n 1 to the query solved it for me. I tried to find the script in intoli's github repo to submit a PR, but I couldn't find the article :)

Hey! Great script, thanks for your hard work. I tried running this ssh-d into my elastic-beanstalks worker on aws.

I need to be able to run chrome headless to launch puppetteer, and eventually google lighthouse, on my ec2 node instance.

Node.js running on 64bit Amazon Linux/4.7.0

AMI AWS EC2

The script runs up until this point where it hangs:

Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1

Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1

Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1

Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1

Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1

...

This message is printed repeadtedly in an infinite loop, crashing the program. I've looked on http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/ and there is no exact package mathcing the one it is searching for, which is I guess why the script hangs.

Do you have a suggested solution or fix for this? My plan will be, once I can run the script by ssh, to run the script in a config file on deploy so that new instances spawned by auto-scaling have the same configuration and are also able to run chrome properly.

Hi. At first of all I should say Thanks a lot to the author of such great script. And the I'm asking for help with installing chrome on AWS Linux (Elasticbeanstalk). This week I got an error during installing the chrom with the next command in .ebextension file curl https://intoli.com/install-google-chrome.sh | bash I got a lop of messages:

Maybe somebody know how can I solve the issue?

When I execute the script (curl https://intoli.com/install-google-chrome.sh | bash), it gets stuck at the following: Extracting graphite2...

I would greatly appreciate your help with libwayland-egl.so.1. "Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1" continues printing indefinitely. Thank you.

Edit: See below output:

This has been working perfectly on Amazon Linux AMI until a few days ago. Now it results in an infinite loop with the following packages still required:

libXss.so.1 => not found
libatk-1.0.so.0 => not found
libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 => not found
libatspi.so.0 => not found
libgtk-3.so.0 => not found
libgdk-3.so.0 => not found
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => not found

Doing it the easy way eventually ends up repeating logs in this way:

Extracting graphite2... Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1 Failed to set locale, defaulting to C Finding dependency for libwayland-egl.so.1 Failed to set locale, defaulting to C etc...

Doing it the hard way logs a lot more, but to the same effect.

Thanks to everyone who reported the issues relating to Wayland that sprung up within the last few days. I just pushed up a new version of the script that should hopefully resolve this.

We had a new failure today, where RPM files were failing to download, but wget created a 0-byte file anyway. The script avoids re-downloading if the file already exists, so this meant it looped infinitely waiting for all dependencies to be installed. I added a removal if the extraction failed:

# Extract it.
echo "Extracting $1..."
rpm2cpio $1.rpm | cpio -idmv > /dev/null 2>&1
extract_status=$?
# Remove a broken RPM to avoid caching it
if [ $extract_status -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "FAILED, removing $1.rpm..."
  rm -f $1.rpm
fi

This forces install_package to re-download the file, which fixed the problem.

thanks for the great article!But I get some problem.

My system is CentOS6.8. And run curl https://intoli.com/install-google-chrome.sh | bash without error. When I run google-chrome-stable --headless --disable-gpu --screenshot \ https://intoli.com/blog/installing-google-chrome-on-centos/ There is nothing output and no screenshot file in current directiory. Then I click Applications -> Internet -> Google Chrome,can't open chrome and no error message. What can I do now? Thanks!

The latest version of Google Chrome has broken our version of this script again.

google-chrome-stable --version /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable: undefined symbol: atk_window_get_type

When running ldd, libatk-1.0.so.0 is shown:

libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libatk-1.0.so.0

However, that seems to be the incorrect version. Going through the process of grabbing that dependency from the repo works. (cksum confirms these are different files).

It seems that ldd is no longer sufficient on its own for getting dependencies.

Edit to update: Adding the following to the script works with Chrome 72 (note this step must be done before install_missing_dependencies is called):

function install_dependency() {
  file=$1

  echo "Finding dependency for ${file}"

  # Find the package name for this library.
  package=$(repoquery --repofrompath=centos7,http://204.10.37.194/centos/7/os/`arch` \
      --repoid=centos7 -q --qf="%{name}" --whatprovides "$file" | head -n1)

  install_package "${package}"

  # Copy it over to our library directory.
  find . | grep /${file} | xargs -n1 -I{} cp {} ${lib_directory}/
}

# try resolving dependencies with objdump first
lines="$(objdump -p "${executable}" | grep "NEEDED")"
while read -r line ; do
  file=`echo $line | awk '{print $2;}'`
  if [ ! -f  "${lib_directory}/${file}" ]; then
    install_dependency "${file}"
  fi
done <<< "$lines"

Request: a public repo. Posting here for updates/issues isn't the easiest experience. If necessary, I/One Medical don't mind hosting as long as I/we have permission. I'm not a lawyer so I'm not 100% sure the current notice allows me to distribute that widely.

Thank you!!
