A Python script to instantly download the latest Chromium snapshot. Works on Linux (including ARM), Windows, Mac, Android.
get-chromium attempts to retrieve the latest Chromium snapshots, available here. It keeps track of the latest downloaded revision, enabling it to update accordingly.
Place get-chromium.py in the directory where you would like to download the snapshots, and run it from there.
Currently, the supported OS are Linux (x86, x86-64, ARM), Windows, Mac and Android.
Depending on your OS, you must install the following programs to run get-chromium:
- Python 2.7.x for Linux, Windows, Mac
- Python4Android r5 & SL4A r6 for Android
- PyPy 2.1 for Linux ARM
- Python modules urllib & urllib2
Note: get-chromium has not been tested on Linux ARM. On another note, I don't know if it works with QPython either. Please open an issue if it doesn't.
Once you launch get-chromium.py, it will automatically download Chromium (safely, over HTTPS) - have a cup of coffee in the meantime. Should any error occur, get-chromium will inform you.
On Android, you first need to install Python4Android, then run get-chromium.py through SL4A.
You are welcome to modify the script and add new features (especially installing Chromium on Mac & Linux).
To contribute, please fork the project and submit a pull request when appropriate.
