I am trying to run selenium-standaloneon a Ubuntu server from Digital Ocean. I ssh to the server, then run the following commands:
apt-get update
apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy npm default-jre
npm install selenium-standalone -g
selenium-standalone install
selenium-standalone start
This leads to a good message that the standalone selenium server is working! But , when I try to connect to it with a simple script on my computer:
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
By = webdriver.By,
until = webdriver.until;
var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
.forBrowser('chrome')
.usingServer('http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:4444/wd/hub')
.build();
I get two huge error messages. On the server, I get:
23:49:09.596 INFO - Executing: [new session: Capabilities [{browserName=chrome}]])
23:49:09.599 INFO - Creating a new session for Capabilities [{browserName=chrome}]

It seems that the errors indicate that Chrome was not installed on the server correctly. But I thought this should happen during the team selenium-standalone install?
Any pointers in the right direction are welcome!
