Unable to get Headless Chrome to work on AWS Linux 2

Question

I fired up a brand new instance of Amazon's Linux 2 AMI (HVM) (Kernel 5.10) and installed with the standard intoli script:

curl -k https://intoli.com/install-google-chrome.sh | bash

Here is the failure:

[root@tst05 chrome]# google-chrome-stable --headless --no-sandbox https://google.com

I've also tried running yum install google-chrome-stable and the same result.

Do you have any suggestions?

Answer

An alternative to installing via this script, is to use the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux repo and install Chromium from there. On Amazon Linux 2 the following commands will install Chromium.

```
# Enable Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y

sudo yum install -y chromium
```
Running Chromium should work, as `chromium-browser --headless --disable-gpu --remote-debugging-port=9222 https://www.chromestatus.com`

Answer

Thanks, but we need to use Chrome because of the interfaces we are using with Selenium in our app.
