Main Exception Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally.

(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)

(The process started from chrome location /home/osboxes/Desktop/educative.io_scraper-master/Chrome-bin/linux/chrome/chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

@bibhubal You don't have to copy anything from Chrome driver folder.
Download the chrome binary from releases in my repo for linux amd64 and paste it inside Chrome bin folder.
Folder Structure Chrome-bin/linux/chrome/chrome(exe)

@bibhubal
Also no need to install virtualenv and create env everytime.
That process is required only once.
Also i would suggest not to change the config, let the default configuration be 0

@bibhubal You are not reading the readme properly, Chromedriver and Chrome are two separate entities.
Please do not copy chromedriver to any other location.
https://github.com/anilabhadatta/educative.io_scraper/releases/download/Educative-Scraper-v6.8/Chrome-bin-linux-amd64.zip
Download this zip file, it contains the Chrome binary for educative scraper.
