default location for chromedriver on linux?

[yi.j...@gmail.com]

I found this as an expected location of driver on document page: /usr/bin/google-chrome
However, I'm using Dreamhost, which doesn't give me access to this location. I need to pay for for the service that I can sudo as an admin user.
So is it possible for me to work around this default location?
I tried the following (found from stackoverflow):
chromedriver = "path...path/chromedriver"
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = chromedriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)

But it doesn't work. It gave me error: cannot find Chrome binary
Seems like another problem:(

I really appreciate if anyone can help! Thanks ahead!!

You can use ChromeOptions to launch chrome executable in non-standard location.

In python :-

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

opts = Options()

opts.binary_location = "path/to/chrome"

driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=opts, executable_path="/path/to/chromedriver")

driver.get('http://google.com')

In Java :-

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", “/path/to/chromedriver");

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.setBinary(“/path/to/chrome”);

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

And to find the location of Chrome, you may follow the below steps:-

1) Launch chrome browser manually

2) Navigate to chrome://version

=> Here, use the path displayed against "Executable Path: "

Thank you for your detailed reply!!

Does it mean I need to install Chrome on the server? 

I couldn't image how it can interact with my local Chrome path (C://...)

Yes, your test machine should have chrome installed and chromedriver in specified local path.
