Chromium Updater - Mac OS X

README.md

Information

This is an updater script for the open source Web browser Chromium for the people (probably mostly developers) who want to stay on the bleeding edge version of Chromium.

It's made for Mac OS X. It downloads a copy from the build server and unpacks it to the right destination. You should shut down Chromium before running this, because it could lead to various problems if you don't.

Requirements

• wget You'll have to install wget, if you haven't already, the easiest way would be to use homebrew.

License

This script is licensed under the public domain, but it would be great, if you could share the changes you made, to the script.
