The following components are required. CEF will not function without them.

Optional components:

The following components are optional. If they are missing CEF will continue to

  CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The locales directory path can be
  customized using CefSettings.locales_dir_path. 
 
  * locales/
    Directory containing localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink. A
    .pak file is loaded from this directory based on the CefSettings.locale

    configured the default locale of "en-US" will be used. Without these files
    arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly.

  CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The resources directory path can be
  customized using CefSettings.resources_dir_path.
