"ChromeDriver executable needs to be available in the path" on Ubuntu / ST3

Constantly get the following error when attempting to launch chrome:

[Start] Browser Integration :: Opening new Chrome instance.
Exception in thread Thread-10:

• Installed on Sublime Text 3, via Package Control
• I have chromedriver in the following directories:
  • /usr/bin
  • ~/.config/sublime-text-3
  • ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Installed Packages
  • ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages

Small update on this issue - sorry for not updating sooner. You need to install the package manually - not via Package Control. PC installs the package as a tarball, which results in the errors you see above. Installing manually as a directory and placing chromedriver in the package directory should do the trick.

Hi,
Sorry for taking so long. I'm not actively developing on this line anymore, because I don't think I can deal with selenium vs. chrome updates fast enough. So I'm completely changing the architecture, to dump selenium completely in favor of using a proxy + socket.io, which would make the plugin completely self-contained and automatically compatible with any browser, and all the time I devote to this plugin is on this new development line.
Thanks @jleskovar for the tip for manually fixing it. I hope to have the renewed version ready for new year!
