> The installed shadow executable `chromedriver` has been renamed to  
> `chromedriver-helper` to work around issues with projects \_not\_ using the  
> gem on a system on which the gem is installed. See [#57](  
> [chromedriver-helper breaks projects not using it · Issue #57 · flavorjones/chromedriver-helper · GitHub](https://github.com/flavorjones/chromedriver-helper/issues/57)) for details.
