Default Installation Path for Chromium Web Browser in Ubuntu 16.04?

I am a newbie both to Ubuntu and Linux and the Chromium web browser. Try as I might, I have been unsuccessful in finding the answer to this simple question: What is the default installation path for the Chromium web browser in Ubuntu 16.04?

Thanks in advance for answering this relatively simple question!


You can type:

which chromium-browser

in a terminal to find out.

Mine is in /usr/bin/chromium-browser and yours probably is too.


I know this is an old thread, but I found it looking for Chromium in 18.10.

Please note that Chromium may have been installed utilizing Snap, in which case it is likely in /snap/chromium/current/bin/chromium.desktop

I am new to snap, so it took me a little time to realize this.


It's not clear what you mean by installation path but the following dpkg command might help:

dpkg -L chromium-browser

as it will show all the files associated with the installed package.


If you can't find directory of your program just use this in console (like example):

whereis chromium

and then you see like this:

chromium: /snap/bin/chromium /snap/bin/chromium.chromedriver
