OK, I was able to make it work like this:
- Installed the chromium-chromedriver: sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver
- Adding the path to the selenium line.
Line 167 in ./google_images_download/google_images_download.py to:
browser = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver")
from google-images-download.
I had this issue too, the issue is that all command line arguments are ignored when the config file argument is present. googleimagesdownload -cf cfg.json --chromedriver '/usr/bin/chromedriver'
will ignore the --chromedriver
argument. You can add it to the configuration file { "Records": [ {"keywords": "tops","limit": 1000, "chromedriver": "/usr/bin/chromedriver"}, {"keywords": "jacket","limit": 1000, "chromedriver": "/usr/bin/chromedriver"} ] }
, a bit too verbose, but it works.
from google-images-download.
@kevng9 the limit is set to 100 if you do not specify the -l
flag. If you want to download more than 100 images, you will have to specify the -cd
flag and give the path to chromedriver that is installed in your machine. More details can be found in the documentation of this project.
Do let me know if that works for you.

same error
googleimagesdownload -k "car" -l 150 --chromedriver C:\Users\rsushmitha\Downloads\chromedriver_win323
Item no.: 1 --> Item name = car
Evaluating...
Looks like we cannot locate the path the 'chromedriver' (use the '--chromedriver' argument to specify the path to the executable.) or google chrome browser is not installed on your machine (exception: Message: 'chromedriver_win323' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home)
from google-images-download.
I had my chromedriver in this location - "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver"
So just append your previous command with --chromedriver /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver
Hope it helps.
from google-images-download.
While using arguments,
you can specify the path...kinda like this
First
response = google_images_download.googleimagesdownload()
Then,
arguments = {"keywords": query, "format": "jpg", "limit":200, "print_urls":True, "size": "medium", "aspect_ratio": "panoramic", "output_directory": r"Foldername/to store", "chromedriver": r"Path to \chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe"}
Then,
response.download(arguments)
Keep it inside try:
and catch:
from google-images-download.
Here is the solution that work for me.
Step 1
Download chrome browser where you want it (https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads)
Step 2
from google_images_download import google_images_download
press ctrl and click google_images_download and open google_images_download.py file
go to line 177 where it is written as browser = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver, chrome_options=options)
change it to browser = webdriver.Chrome("D:/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver", chrome_options=options)
Here chromedriver is not the name of folder, but its the exe file
Note: This (D:/chromedriver_win32/) should be your path to chrome file
from google-images-download.

TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentationactually you have made indentation error. can you post the screen shot
apparently it seems you have some issue with indentations, can you undo all changes, you have made.
you can try pip uninstall google_images_download
and then install again.
make sure, instead of changing the complete
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver, chrome_options=options)
just change chromedriver
.
this will help to avoid indentation issue

@hardikvasa I'm having this error happen in this following environment:
Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
ChromeDriver 2.35.528139 (47ead77cb35ad2a9a83248b292151462a66cd881) on port 9515
Command:
googleimagesdownload --config_file gid.json --chromedriver /home//bin/chromedriver
... where that path does work I checked it separately.
from google-images-download.
The precise error is
(fastai) paperspace@ps2ev9u4q:~/data$ googleimagesdownload --config_file gid.json --chromedriver ../bin/chromedriver
Item no.: 1 --> Item name = vespa gtv

@boxabirds i am guessing based on your PR #98 , this issue is now resolved for you.
sorry for the late reply. Let me know if you have any other questions.
from google-images-download.
Hi no I'm not having any more luck, the exception doesn't take me any further. Nowhere can I find simple examples of where the chromedriver binary should be and the path that I included isn't working.
from google-images-download.
- Have you tried giving the chromedriver inside python in a dictionary ? Maybe this will work and the error is somewhere in the argument parsing to it
- is the path to the executable or to the folder containing the executable? It must be directly to the executable, not only the folder
- Why are there two "/" in your path? Maybe this breaks it
- Try an absolute path
from google-images-download.
@boxabirds yes it is either the path issue as Kevin suggested or it could be with the google chrome browser itself.
can you follow this guide to fresh install google-chrome-stable?
https://askubuntu.com/questions/510056/how-to-install-google-chrome
do let me know if that works.
from google-images-download.
Chrome's working fine -- I was able to run it directly ok. I'll have a look at it another time. BTW it'd be nice if you had an option to exclude the number prefixes. I've done a local build with a new flag that excludes it as an option
from google-images-download.
Hi,
I have the same issue. my chromedriver is installed in /usr/bin and I'm running the following code:
python3 google_images_download.py -k 'cat' -cd /usr/bin -l 140
google_images_download.py file's path is: ~/Documents/google-images-download/google_images_download
And the same error appears when I run the code:
Looks like we cannot locate the path the 'chromedriver' (use the '--chromedriver' argument to specify the path to the executable.) or google chrome browser is not installed on your machine (exception: Message: 'bin' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home )
Any solution?
from google-images-download.
Exactly the same issue on my side...
I tried locating the chromedriver in the same folder of setup.py or in the same folder as google_images_download.py (changing the -cd path accordingly of course).
Nothing helped...

@omrysendik thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. It worked for me perfectly as well 👍

chromdriver ==2.40 fail ,but re-roll to 2.37 ,all confused resolved ,see more detail in
#120
from google-images-download.
I was having the same problem, turns out you have to provide the path to the executable itself, not just the path. For example: /usr/bin/chromedriver , not just /usr/bin/
from google-images-download.

OK, I was able to make it work like this:1. Installed the chromium-chromedriver: sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver 2. Adding the path to the selenium line.

Thank You ! This works perfectly fine.

could also be you rights on the chromdriver are not the appropriate one (let's chromedriver is root root and you are trying to run the script as ubuntu ubuntu)

Use chormedriver 80 so will solved this problem
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=80.0.3987.106/
eg. When i extract chormedriver exe to chromedriver_win32-80
chromedriver = "chromedriver_win32-80/chromedriver.exe"
response = google_images_download.googleimagesdownload()
response.download({
"keywords": "portrait transparent background",
"color_type": "transparent",
"size": "medium",
"limit": 500,
"output_directory": output_dir,
"chromedriver": chromedriver})
