Hi how can I use selenium for my project, I made a scraper and it works but doesn't when hosted on railway, I think it's because chrome can't be opened. How can I install chrome?

Selenium is a web automation tool that can be used to scrape data from websites. It can be used to automate tasks such as filling out forms, clicking buttons, and extracting data from webpages. To get started, you'll need to install Selenium, Google Chrome, and the ChromeDriver.
