Update Chromium automatically from the command line.

README.md

Automatically update Chromium (Windows with Bash)

Prerequisites:

• wget

Installation:

1. Create a file called version.txt in your Chromium/Application folder, with 0 as its contents.

Usage:

Just run the script!

Feel free to fork and adapt to the other OS's (shouldn't be too hard, you'll just need to unzip)!

chromiumupdate.sh

#!/bin/bash

cd ~/AppData/Local/Chromium/Application

a=$(cat version.txt)
b=$(wget -qO- http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/Win/LAST_CHANGE)

if (( $b > $a )); then
	printf "Update available, downloading...\n\n"
	echo $b > version.txt
	cd ~/Downloads/Setup
	wget http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/Win/$b/mini_installer.exe -O mini_installer.exe
	chmod +x mini_installer.exe
	printf "\nInstalling..."
	./mini_installer.exe
	printf "\n"
	echo Done!
else
	echo Up to Date!
