Chrome Canary isn't available on Linux, but the daily build of Chromium is - not via PPA, but at download-chromium.appspot.com
- Step 1: get the .desktop file via install
sudo apt-get install chromium
- defaults to
/usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop
(see upload)
- defaults to
- HT GitHub Gist: povrazor/chromium.sh
My chosen installation (i.e. download) location: ~/opt/chromium-canary
~/opt/chromium-canary/chrome --user-data-dir=~/.config/chromium-canary --disable-setuid-sandbox
This probably doesn't work, would need to specify output file names ?
wget https://download-chromium.appspot.com/dl/Linux_x64 -O /tmp/chromium.zip
rm -fr ~/opt/chromium-canary
unzip -o /tmp/chromium.zip
mv chrome-linux .chromium-linux
- save on path as
chromium-canary
, and edit the PPA-downloaded .desktop file to use this instead - automate the redownloading process with the
get_chromium_canary
shell script (and put on path too)
