Need to install Google Chrome on a Linux server without having root access. Chrome is needed in order to run Selenium webdirver tests with google chrome. Would this be possible?

Google Chrome is pretty portable between computers, since it is entirely self-contained in /opt/google/chrome/.

Just copy that directory from somewhere else and you can launch it from there.

Awesome looks like that is going to work, thanks! Copying that directory and pointing Selenium to the binary in the copied directory instead of the default location works! – krup123 – 2019-08-05T14:09:00.117
