Installing headless chrome browser on mac(Mojave)

How to install headless chrome browser on Mac
 

Step#1: install google chrome using below command

brew install Caskroom/versions/google-chrome-canary


Once installed, find the path of the app using below command

sudo find / -type d -name "*Chrome Canary.app"

While the code gets executed, you will come across some permissions issues and dialogue popup to seek permission to check certain directories ( click cancel on all the dialogue pop ups, just to be safe side by not allowing terminal to interact with any apps) 

However, you will see the path like this for the r we installed just now 

/Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app

Once we find the path, we can start the headless browser using the below command: 

Change the website you want to navigate to: 

/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 --disable-gpu https://finance.yahoo.com
