selenium chrome ubuntu without GUI

To run Selenium with Chrome on Ubuntu without a GUI, you can use the following steps:

1. Install Chrome headless:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y xvfb
sudo apt-get install -y unzip
sudo apt-get install -y libxi6 libgconf-2-4
sudo apt-get install -y libglib2.0-0 libnss3 libfontconfig1
sudo apt-get install -y libXtst6
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

2. Install ChromeDriver:

wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.41/chromedriver_linux64.zip
unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
sudo mv chromedriver /usr/bin/chromedriver
sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/chromedriver
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/chromedriver

3. Install Selenium:

sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
sudo pip3 install selenium

4. Run Chrome with XVFB:

Xvfb :99 -ac -screen 0 1280x1024x16 &
export DISPLAY=:99

5. Create a Python script to run Selenium:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

driver.get("https://www.google.com")
print(driver.title)

driver.quit()

6. Run the Python script:

python3 script.py

This will start a headless Chrome browser and open the Google homepage. You can modify the script to navigate to other websites and perform actions with Selenium.
