This script can be used to install Chrome, Chromedriver, and Selenium in Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2).

Detailed step by step explanation is available in this article on how to Run Selenium and Chrome/Chromium on WSL2 using Python and Selenium webdriver

Using the repository

./install-selenium.sh

A virtual environment is automatically created and recommended.
