I'm getting this same error

this is a different error I think. Do you have chrome installed?

Well I thought I could just get the chromedriver and skip installing Chrome, which is why I installed it from npm.
But that didn't work, so I ran wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb and then sudo dpkg -I google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb to install Chrome, and it's still the same error

well chromedriver saves you from needing selenium & java. It's the webdriver basically however it still needs Chrome
What is the error now?

It's still the same error as above.
Can you tell me where chimp expects the chromedriver to be and how to use the configuration file to set the path?
I tried with this config file but it didn't work
module.exports = {
webdriverio: {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {binary: '/usr/bin/chromedriver'},
},
},
};
I believe its' this:
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
binary: '/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome'
}
}
Apologies I should have specified, I'm running this on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS.
So I don't need module.exports or webdriverio specified?

my bad, I was being lazy...
module.exports = {
webdriverio: {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
binary: '<path to your chrome binary>'
}
}
}
Yes, that's what I do have, and it's not working.

hmm. try this:
start chromedriver with this:
then run this:
chromedriver --url-base=wd/hub --verbosethen in another tab/window
curl -XPOST http://localhost:9515/wd/hub/session -d '{"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"chrome"}}'
this way you can debug the issue without Chimp being part of the equation

This is what I get when I start it without chimp

If by that you mean click the icon to open, I can't do that. I'm attempting to do this headlessly in a vagrant set up virtual machine

I mean from the command line. Have you started Xvfb?
Also, it would be better if you come to http://xolv.io/community

@samhatoum Thank you so much for your quick help! I was able to get it working. As it turns out, the the capital -I flag was for getting info, not installing. Once Chrome installed, it did work. Thank you again.
Expected behaviour
Script should be running & opening chrome browser instance & navigating to the url
Actual behaviour
Getting error as "Error Chrome not reachable"
Exact steps to reproduce / repository that demonstrates the problem
Please put long code snips in a Gist and provide a link here. I have prepared a step_def.js file having the below code snippet module.exports = function() {
this.Given(/^I have visited the website$/, function () { browser.url('http://google.com'); }); } When i start chimp through the command chimp --watch then i get the below error Failures:
