First update your system

apt update
apt upgrade

Next download google-chrome

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Next install ‘google-chrome’

dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

If you have a problem with your dependencies after the previous step, run the following command then try again the previous step.

sudo apt -f install

Verify your version of google-chrome

google-chrome --version
# Google Chrome 123.0.6312.86

Create a new console program

dotnet new console -n SeleniumExample
cd SeleniumExample

Install required packages

dotnet add package Selenium.WebDriver
dotnet add package Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver

Edit your Program.cs file and replace its contents with the code below.

using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Set up the ChromeDriver
        var options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.AddArgument("--headless");

        using var driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

        // Navigate to a website
        driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com");

        // Wait for the results to load and display the title
        driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
        Console.WriteLine(driver.Title);

        // Close the browser
        driver.Quit();
    }
}

Run the program, it should show the title of the google.com webpage

First check your current ip and gateway settings with the command “ip a” and “ip r”.

Edit the file /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml, place the following contents in it:

network:
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    eth0:
      addresses:
        - 172.29.0.2/24
      nameservers:
        addresses: [1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8]
      routes:
        - to: default
          via: 172.29.0.1
  version: 2

The gateway address can be determined by executing ip r

The easiest and cleanest way to get configurations values in .NET is through the IOptions interface.
