how to install geckodriver on a windows system

For one make sure you are downloading the one for your OS. Windows is at the bottom of the list it will say win32. Download that file or 64 doesn't matter.

After that you are going to want to extract the file. If you get an error that says there is no file in the Winrar file, this may be because in your Winrar settings you have Winrar set to not extract any files that have the extension .exe. If you go to Winrar options then settings then security you can delete this it will say *.exe, and after you delete that you can extract the file. After that is done, search how to update the path so that gecko driver can be accessed. Then you will most likely need to restart.


You can put it anywhere. 1. put it into your project folder. 2. create a folder and put driver into it. Set the driver path up in your code.

  from selenium import webdriver
  path="C:\\Programs\\Python36\\BrowersDriver\\chromedriver.exe"
  driver=webdriver.Chrome(path)
  driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com")
  driver.close()
  driver.quit()
