In June 2025, Plotly made significant updates to the kaleido package with the 1.0.0
98+
release by removing Google Chrome code. Now, users will need to have Google Chrome
99+
installed in directories specified in this Plotly documentation (based on operating
100+
system):
101+
102+
https://plotly.com/python/static-image-export/
103+
104+
The METplotpy code downloads Chrome at runtime by invoking the kaleido.get_chrome_sync()
105+
method call.
106+
107+
If users do not wish to have Chrome downloaded at run time and already have Chrome installed
108+
in one of the expected locations (specified in the Plotly link above), then the PRE_LOAD_CHROME environment variable
109+
will need to be set to 'True' (case insensitive string).
