I'm setting up a selenium script in google cloud vm-instance. I have tried running it using Mozilla Firefox 60.4.0 and geckodriver-v0.23.0 Doing this i get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 7, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

I then tried using chromium 71.0.3578.80-1~deb9u1 and chromedriver 2.45 but the error i get is:

(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/chromium is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.45.615279 (12b89733300bd268cff3b78fc76cb8f3a7cc44e5),platform=Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64)
How can i get selenium running. google-chrome is installed in /usr/bin/google-chrome firefox is installed in /usr/bin/firefox
