<p>This post will go over how I installed chromium binary on a Laravel Forge server.</p>



<p>I have a PHP Application hosted that leverages the <a href="https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome">chrome-php</a> package. This is a <a href="https://www.vultr.com/?ref=7098888">Vultr Compute VM</a> server is managed by <a href="http://forge.laravel.com">Laravel Forge</a>. In order to install the chrome binary I had to ssh into my vultr server and run the following commands:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phd/chromium-browser</code> To add the chromium browser to the package manager repository for your server.</li>



<li><code>sudo apt update</code> Update the package manager so that the new repository will be used.</li>



<li><code>sudo apt install -y chromium-browser</code> Install the chrome browser</li>



<li><code>sudo apt --fix-broken install</code> To install any missing dependancies</li>



<li><code>google-chrome</code> To verify installation.</li>
</ul>
