This tutorial will show you how to install Selenium as a service on a Ubuntu 14.04 server. An Ubuntu server doesn’t have a GUI in contrast to Ubuntu desktop, so we will also need to setup a virtual screen where firefox will run.

Perform all actions as root!

Selenium is a Java application, so make sure Java is installed. Installation instructions: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-on-ubuntu-with-apt-get.

Install Firefox and Xvfb.

apt-get update
apt-get install firefox xvfb

Create a virtual screen a (re)boot.

crontab -e

Add the following line as first cronjob:

@reboot sh -c 'Xvfb :99 -ac -screen
