MIT License

If you prefer to use the script directly from GitHub, you can use the following raw link:

curl -o script.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ismola/linux-chromedriver-updater/refs/heads/main/script.sh
chmod +x script.sh

Usage

Manual Execution

You can run the script manually with the following command:

./script.sh

The script will download the latest version of ChromeDriver, unzip it, and move it to your current directory. It will also clean up temporary files.

Automation (using cron)

If you want to automate the script execution, for example, to run periodically on a server, you can add it to a cron job.

1. Open the crontab file to edit:

crontab -e

Add an entry to run the script automatically, for example, every day at 3:00 AM:

0 3 \* \* \* /path/to/script.sh

Replace /path/to/script.sh with the location where you have stored the script on your server.

Note

This script is designed to work on Linux and should be run with appropriate permissions to avoid issues with writing to the system. If you wish to run it in a different environment, it may be necessary to adapt it.
