You will need to look up how to install the Geckodriver for your platform, but for MacOS this was very simple by using HomeBrew.
I chose to go with the Firefox Geckodriver for this setup. There is an unofficial Selenium documentation that talks about the different drivers. You will need a webdriver for the web browser you wish to control. While it is not required, it is a very good idea to use a virtual environment to play with Selenium so that you don’t install versions of software that may affect your other projects. Virtual Environmentįor any project I do, I setup a Python Virtual Environment, and you can check out my quick article on setting this up. And I was really impressed on how quick and easy it was to setup and test. I needed to see if I could quickly setup and test how Selenium works, so that I can prepare some tests for the web client of the software package I work with at the office. Selenium can be fun to play with, but really best used for website testing.
