cr-updater

This script will download and unpack the latest Chromium snapshot build for Windows, Linux and Mac.

For Linux

You need curl and unzip installed:

sudo apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends curl unzip

Locally run:

php updater.php

You can also run this script directly from github:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pwlin/cr-updater/master/updater.php | php

Or the tinyurl of it:

curl -L https://tinyurl.com/cr-updater | php

Chromium itself needs the following shared libraries:
libxss1
libnss3
libgconf-2-4

sudo apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends libxss1 libnss3 libgconf-2-4

Note 1

If you get the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Do:

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.6.4 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0

Or:

sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.6.4 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0 (deprecated)

Note 2

Run Chromium with the following argument to disable setuid errors:

--no-sandbox (not recommended) 

Or automate the following after each install:

sudo mv chrome_sandbox chrome-sandbox
sudo chown root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
(then use "./chrome-wrapper" to start Chromium)
