# Installation

```sh
npm install chrome-user-data-dir --save
```

# Usage

```javascript
var udd = require('chrome-user-data-dir');

udd({
    // userDataDir: '/path/to/existing/user-data-dir/if/needed',
    defaultPreferences: {
        homepage: 'chrome://version/',
        homepage_is_newtabpage: false,
        browser : {
            check_default_browser : false
        },
        sync_promo : {
            show_on_first_run_allowed: false
        },
        distribution : {
            skip_first_run_ui : true,
