Chromium Updater

A simple Chromium updater for Linux x64

Intro

A node utility to download and run the latest Linux build of Chromium.

It checks it you have the latest installed version if not then updates.

Usage

1. Run the package

 npx chromium-updater -d "path/to/download"

2. Copy path to user settings

3. Run Chromium

./pathToChromiumVersion/chome-linux/chrome --user-settings-data='./path/to/settings' $* &> /dev/null &

Why

As of now for Linux builds, there wasnt a simple upstream ppa or autoupdate. Thus this package.

Inspiration

This is heavily inspired from a shell script package chromium-latest-linux
