You need to download the executable driver from: ChromeDriver Download

Then all you need to do is use the following before creating the driver object (already shown in the correct order): 

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

This was extracted from the most useful guide from the ChromeDriver Documentation.
