The script should work out-of-the-box for most users. The --calibrate option offers an interactive procedure to recompute all of the offsets to various form elements within the chrome browser window that must be automatically entered in order to set up the remote session. If google changes the layout of the CRD startup page, then a recalibration will be required.
