### Google Chrome Instructions:
I recommend Chromium instead of Google Chrome, since it's open source and doesn't send your data to Google.
Chromium may have some issues rendering some sites though, so you're welcome to try Google-chrome instead.
It's also easier to use Google Chrome if you already have it installed, rather than downloading Chromium all over.
1. Install & link google-chrome
By default, ArchiveBox looks for any existing installed version of Chrome/Chromium and uses it if found, but you can optionally install a specific version and set the environment variable `CHROME_BINARY` to force ArchiveBox to that one (e.g. `CHROME_BINARY=google-chrome-beta`).
#### Check for existing Chrome install
```bash
# On Mac:
# If you already have Google Chrome in /Applications/, skip this brew command
brew cask install google-chrome
brew install wget python3
google-chrome --version
Google Chrome 73.0.3683.75 beta # should be >v59
```
(Replace `google-chrome` with `chromium-browser` or path to your preferred binary)
echo -e '#!/bin/bash\n/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome "$@"' > /usr/local/bin/google-chrome
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/google-chrome
## Installing Chromium
### macOS
If you already have Chromium installed at `/Applications/Chromium.app`, you don't need to run this.
```bash
brew cask install chromium-browser
```
### Ubuntu/Debian
If you already have `chromium-browser` >= v59 installed (run `chromium-browser --version`, you don't need to run this.
```bash
apt update
apt install chromium-browser
```
## Installing Google Chrome
### macOS
If you already have Google Chrome installed at `/Applications/Google Chrome.app`, you don't need to run this.
```bash
brew cask install google-chrome
```
### Ubuntu/Debian
If you already have `google-chrome` >= v59 installed (run `google-chrome --version`, you don't need to run this.
```bash
# On Linux:
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
apt update; apt install google-chrome-beta python3 wget
apt update
apt install google-chrome-beta
```
2. Set the environment variable `CHROME_BINARY` to `google-chrome` before running:
## Troubleshooting
```bash
env CHROME_BINARY=google-chrome ./archive ~/Downloads/bookmarks_export.html
```
