Hopefully, at this point, you know how to successfully install Chromium web browser on Raspberry Pi. Then select Internet > Chromium Web Browser The Chromium browser will immediately open up and you can start surfing the web. From the Desktopįrom the desktop, you have to click on the Raspberry Pi icon at the top left corner of the taskbar.
To launch it from the terminal, all you need to do is to run the below command. Here we have a couple of methods by which we can launch the browser from your Raspberry Pi. That’s a piece of cake, right? Well, now let’s see how you can open and run the browser. This will install the Chromium browser and it will be a specially modified and optimized version for Raspberry Pi. We can start installing the Chromium browser with this command.
Now run a full upgrade with the below command to update all of the currently installed packages.
If you are interested, you can read my detailed guide to update Raspberry Pi.
For this use the command below in your terminal. As usual, before the installation, we have to update the package list. But still, it will take a considerable amount of time as the code repository for Chrome has a size of around 10 GB.ġ. In this section, I will show you the step-by-step procedure to install the Chromium web browser on your Pi.įortunately, the Chromium is available through the Raspberry Pi OS repository and this will save us a lot of time. Ethernet Cord or Wi-Fi Dongle (For Pi 3 and later has Wi-Fi in-built).Note that the Chromium web browser is already included as a default browser in the desktop version of Raspberry OS Stretch and subsequent versions.īelow given is the equipment you need to install the Chromium web browser on your Raspberry Pi. For example, you will not be able to use streaming media like Amazon Prime or Netflix using the Chromium browser.

Since Chromium is an open-source version of the original Google Chrome browser, we can use that for installing on our Pi. If you want Chrome on Raspberry Pi, you can install the Chromium browser with nearly the same features. But wait! There is a workaround for this.
This one too is not supported on the Pi’s hardware. The Chromebook is the only ARM-based desktop that currently supports the chrome web browser. Unfortunately, it’s not supported on our Raspberry Pi’s hardware. This is what is promised by the WOA-Project with its new WoA-Installer.
Google Chrome is one of the fastest and most popular browsers in this era. Back to the year that Raspberry Pi 2 was introduced, Microsoft has announced it would support the platform with its slim edition of Windows 10 IoT, which works better on the new 64-bit RPi 3 models.But, what about running the full version of Windows 10 on RPi 3 or 3B+. Would really appreciate it if anyone can give me either instructions or pointers to places where reliable documentation exists.In this guide, I will show you how exactly you can install Chromium browser on Raspberry Pi with explanations and screenshots. After several hours of hunting, I cant seem to find a place where I can get the geckodriver or chromedriver binary for RaspberryPi Zero so I can download and get my application going. My applications need a Selenium webdriver (any browser - Firefox or Chromium preferably) to be running. I have some Python applications that I need to run on it. I am appending the hardware and OS details. I have a Raspberry Pi Zero with Raspbian Stretch running on it.
