# Report render browser path setting

This optional setting sets the full path to the Chrome web browser executable that is used by AyaNova to render reports.

If not set, AyaNova will attempt to automatically download a copy of Chrome to a `Chrome` and `ChromeHeadlessShell` folders under the AyaNova executable folder on first report rendering.

This setting is typically not required to be set.

## Default

Default is empty / not set.

## Overriding

AyaNova expects the report rendering browser path to be provided by a config.json property, environment variable or command line parameter named

`AYANOVA_REPORT_RENDER_BROWSER_PATH`

The value specified should be a string containing a fully qualified file path to the Chrome browser.

Example config.json entry

    {
      ...other properties...
      "AYANOVA_REPORT_RENDER_BROWSER_PATH": "/usr/bin/Chrome"
    }

Example command line parameter

`ayanova.exe --AYANOVA_REPORT_RENDER_BROWSER_PATH="/usr/bin/Chrome"` )

Example environment variable

Windows

`set "AYANOVA_REPORT_RENDER_BROWSER_PATH=o C:\Program Files\Chrome\chrome.exe"`

Linux

`export AYANOVA_REPORT_RENDER_BROWSER_PATH="/usr/bin/Chrome"`
