Today I saw the message UserWarning: Selenium support for PhantomJS has been deprecated, please use headless versions of Chrome or Firefox instead.
I am willing to for for Chrome route. How do I install on AWS and run it on my remote AWS instance?
I will be using selenium in Python.
Answer
Create a new EC2 instance.
SSH log into the machine.
Install python, selenium, chromedriver, chromium, and python packages what you need.
sudo apt install chromium-chromedriver
Copy your python script to the machine.
Edit the script and add an chromeoption.
import selenium as se
options = se.webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('headless')
driver = se.webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
Done!
