How to install chrome-webdriver on GitLab CI/CD

Question

I am trying to do some tests using GitLab CI/CD and Robot Framework, I have this simple .robot file:

*** Settings ***
# Declare Libraries
Library  SeleniumLibrary

# Declare Suite Setup and Teardown
Suite Setup Open Browser    ${site_to_open}  ${browser_to_use}
Suite Teardown  Close Browser

*** Variables ***
${site_to_open}  https://example.com/
${browser_to_use}   chrome

*** Test Cases ***

Open webpage and check for text
    Page Should Contain  Check for existence of this text!!!
    Log  OK

In my .gitlab-ci.yml I have this

stages:
  - deploy
  - tests1

pages:
  stage: deploy
  script:
  - mkdir .public
  - cp test_website/index.html .public
  - mv .public public
  artifacts:
    paths:
    - public
  only:
  - master

tests1:
  stage: tests1
  services:
    - selenium/standalone-chrome
  script:
  - python3 -V
  - apt-get update
  - apt-get install -y python3-pip
  - pip3 -V
  - pip3 install robotframework
  - pip3 install robotframework-seleniumlibrary
  - apt-get install -y chromium-chromedriver
  - export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
  - robot --output NONE --report NONE --log NONE cases/Test/test.robot
  only:
  - master

However when I try to run the pipeline it gives me this error:

$ apt-get install -y chromium-chromedriver
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
E: Unable to locate package chromium-chromedriver
Cleaning up file based variables
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

Whatever I am doing, I am failing to sucessfully instal the chromium-webdriver to run the Robot Framework test as in headless Chrome.

Could you suggest how to edit the files to make it work?
