Install Chrome under WSL

install.sh

# assumes you have ubuntu-desktop installed which includes stock libpulse
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:therealkenc/wsl-pulseaudio
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

# Download the stable or development Chrome .deb package - dev if you want headless functionality
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt -f install                       # probably

wget https://github.com/therealkenc/libudev-stub/releases/download/v0.9.0/libudev-stub-0.9.0-WSL.deb
sudo dpkg -i libudev-stub-0.9.0-WSL.deb   # doing this **last** is important

If it helps anyone,
instead of installing chrome exclusively for WSL (mine's WSL1), here's what worked for me with whatever was installed on Windows:
Since ~/.bashrc references .bash_aliases, use any editor. I'm using nano here:

$ nano ~/.bash_aliases
alias chrome="powershell.exe -Command start chrome"
alias firefox="powershell.exe -Command start firefox"

Without re-starting Bash, just type:

$source ~/.bashrc

Test with alias name:

$chrome

I am still happily using WSL and looking forward for WSL 2 to be completed!

Here is a couple of Chrome related links which were helpful to me:

• Install Chrome on WSL
• Use chromedriver on WSL

Thank you very very much. Works perfectly
