Run selenium with chrome on termux

termux_selenium.md

Setup chromium - Normal Termux ( recommended )

Install tur and x11 repo

Chromium is there in tur repo and x11 repo contains some dependencies of chromium

Run these commands

pkg install -y tur-repo x11-repo

Install chromium and other required packages

pkg install -y chromium xorg-xerver-xvfb

Now to use chromium, you must use it with installed chromedriver, setup the virtual display ( like PyVirtualDisplay for python ) and do not use --headless=new mode.

With --headless, it should work without virtual display.

Example: Run https://github.com/farshadz1997/Microsoft-Rewards-bot

Install required packages by Microsoft-Rewards-bot

pkg install -y python python-tkinter

• Clone the repo

• Setup the repo like how you would do normally

• In the command, --virtual-display -no-webdriver-manager must be added and do not add --headless ( otherwise it will throw an error ).

Example:

python3 ms_rewards_farmer.py --no-images --session --superfast --no-webdriver-manager --virtual-display 

No need to do follow this if normal termux (above) method was used.
