--browsers firefox is rejected — how do I get anything other than Chromium?

Our suite runs on Firefox, so I asked for it at install time and got:

text

--browsers must be all, chromium or none (got 'firefox').
  Docs: https://docs.sdods.com/docs/getting-started/installation/

Exit code 2. So the flag exists but does not take an engine name. Is Firefox not supported?

Accepted answer
Firefox is supported; the installer flag just is not the place to name one engine. It takes three values because it is answering "how much do you want downloaded", not "which one".
Either take all three at install time:
bash
```
curl -fsSL https://sdods.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --browsers all
```
or install nothing and pick engines afterwards, which is what I would do if you only ever use one:
bash
```
curl -fsSL https://sdods.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --browsers none
sdods browsers install -b firefox
```
The CLI command is the one that takes engine names, and it accepts -b more than once plus --with-deps when you need the system libraries as well.

Have the same question?

Ask it with the command you ran and the output you got, and it will be answered here.
