Specify chromedriver path to selenium-standalone

I am trying to start the selenium-standalone server (https://www.npmjs.com/package/selenium-standalone) and it is throwing an error:

14:19:09 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/selenium-standalone/bin/selenium-standalone:54
14:19:09         throw err;
14:19:09               ^
14:19:09 Error: Missing /usr/local/lib/node_modules/selenium-standalone/.selenium/chromedriver/2.18-x64-chromedriver
14:19:09     at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/selenium-standalone/lib/check-paths-existence.js:15:20
14:19:09     at Object.cb [as oncomplete] (fs.js:169:19)
14:19:09 Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure

The selenium server is looking for the chromedriver at path

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/selenium-standalone/.selenium/chromedriver/2.18-x64-chromedriver

by default.

Is it possible to specify the chromedriver location at the command line while running the server? Something like:

selenium-standalone -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=<path_to_chromedriver> start

Is possible that you need to install it first!

selenium-standalone provide this command to helps you download and install chromedriver. Additionally, it provides commands to setup and download differents options for selenium, chromedriver and architecture (I didn't find a command to set path)

# choose selenium version 
selenium-standalone install --version=2.45.0 --baseURL=https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com

# choose chrome driver version 
selenium-standalone install --drivers.chrome.version=2.15 --drivers.chrome.baseURL=https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com

# choose ie driver architecture 
selenium-standalone start --drivers.ie.arch=ia32 --drivers.ie.baseURL=https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com
