Installation Steps Chromium rendering will wait for all resources requested by the page to be completed before it sends the finished signal that prompts Looker to produce the rendered content. Even minor differences, such as different build numbers, can prevent enabling the Enhanced Rendering Labs feature (if you are using Looker 5.22 through 6.2). If you are installing Chrome on a clustered Looker installation, the versions on all nodes must be fully identical. The Looker application needs to access Chromium using the chromium command or via a custom path set with the CHROMIUM_PATH environment variable. Make sure you install Chromium into an executable path on the machine that hosts the Looker instance. Version and LocationĬhromium 65 or later is required, but the latest version is generally recommended. Customers with Looker running on those distributions can install Chrome instead.

Instructions for installing Chromium on Debian are in the Help Center article of that name.Ĭhromium is more difficult to install on some Linux distributions, such as Amazon Linux. Instructions for installing Chromium on Ubuntu are in the Chromium section of our Customer-Hosted Installation documentation. For Looker 5.22 through 6.2, you will need to install the renderer before enabling the Enhanced Rendering Labs feature, which, in conjunction with the renderer, allows you to enjoy certain Looker features. However, if you host your own Looker instance, you will need to install the renderer. If your instance is hosted by Looker, this software is already installed. Looker uses the Chromium renderer to run certain Looker features.
