Chromedriver: various lib dependencies missing on ubuntu 14.04 64-bit

Question

so I'm trying to run chromedriver 2.20 downloaded from

wget http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.20/chromedriver_linux64.zip 

and on my ubuntu 14.04

  x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 

I get the following message

 ./chromedriver: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

digging further, I see that he does not have a whole bunch.

 me@me :/var/chrome# ldd ./chromedriver linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffc0e5aa000) librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f472eb63000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f472e95f000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f472e70e000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f472e406000) libnss3.so => not found libnssutil3.so => not found libsmime3.so => not found libnspr4.so => not found libgconf-2.so.4 => not found libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0x00007f472e0d1000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f472ddcd000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f472dac7000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f472d8b1000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f472d693000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f472d2ce000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f472ed6b000) libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 (0x00007f472d0c6000) libpcre.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3 (0x00007f472ce88000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 (0x00007f472cc69000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXau.so.6 (0x00007f472ca65000) libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x00007f472c85f000) 

So where can I get the missing files?

Answer 1

I need the following packages installed with apt / apt-get:

• libglib2.0-0
• libnss3
• libx11-6

I am working on Ubuntu 16.04, so a little adjustment may be required for 14.04. Depending on how trimmed your installation is, you may also need libpcre or libstdC ++, but they probably already come with other packages.

You will probably also need to install chrome, which should bring these packages anyway.
