📕Chromium/Chrome Setup

This setup is only required for the users who followed the SELF-HOST method for deploying Cat Userbot.

This is not required for Docker or Docker-Compose (recommended method) methods.

➦ Why should you do this setup?

Chromium / Chrome binary is a mandatory requirement for many awesome plugins and commands like AI tools, Screenshot, Rayso, Rayso based logs, Carbon, etc.

For Debian

sudo apt install chromium

For Ubuntu

sudo apt install chromium-browser

For Arch

nano config.py

Add this one var in your config

For Debian and Ubuntu

sudo wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - && \

  sudo apt-get update -y && \
  sudo apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable xvfb libxi6 libgconf-2-4 default-jdk && \
