I am attempting to work with Selenium
in Python. However, I do not know what to do given the below from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium
Selenium
requires a driver to interface with the chosen browser. Firefox, for example, requires geckodriver
, which needs to be installed before the below examples can be run. Make sure it’s in your PATH, e.g., place it in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
.
I am running windows 7 32bit. I found geckodriver here: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
I have mostly used the Anaconda distribution of Python to work with excel so I do not know what is a "PATH"
Thanks,
UPDATE:
I updated the PATH as shown in the comments. Here is the full error traceback.
