Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/242

Describe the bug

./archive don't find chromium-browser even if it's installed.

Steps to reproduce

pkg install chromium (successful installation)
./archive

Screenshots or log output

[X] Missing dependency: chromium-browser

How I fixed it

I did a simple symbolic linck because it was looking for the wrong binary.

ln -s /usr/local/bin/chrome /usr/local/bin/chromium-browser

Software versions

OS: FreeBSD 12.0
ArchiveBox version: de28748
Python version: 3.6.8
Chrome version: Chromium 73.0.3683.103

Sidenote

It should be easily fixed. If I enjoy that tool and have some free time, I'll try to PR the installer to support FreeBSD.

It tries all of these in order, so if it's not able to find it then it's probably not in your $PATH or there's some other issue:

        default_executable_paths = (
            'chromium-browser',
            'chromium',
            '/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium',
            'google-chrome',
            '/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome',
            'google-chrome-stable',
            'google-chrome-beta',
            'google-chrome-canary',
            '/Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary',
            'google-chrome-unstable',
            'google-chrome-dev',
        )

What's the output of running which chromium && chromium --version in the same shell that you run ArchiveBox in?

Hi,

For chrome:

root@archive-box:~ # which chromium && chromium --version
chromium: Command not found.

For chromium-browser:

root@archive-box:~ # which chromium-browser && chromium-browser --version 
/usr/local/bin/chromium-browser
Chromium 73.0.3683.103

It works because I did a logical link to fix it:

root@archive-box:~ # ls -l /usr/local/bin/chromium-browser 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  21 May 19 00:25 /usr/local/bin/chromium-browser -> /usr/local/bin/chrome

To add chrome or /usr/local/bin/chrome to default_executable_paths could the way to fix.
