 <\/p>\r\n

1. Install python3 https:\/\/www.python.org\/downloads\/<\/p>\r\n

2. Run command in cmd<\/p>\r\n

pip install selenium<\/code><\/pre>\r\n
3. download drivers https:\/\/sites.google.com\/chromium.org\/driver\/ <\/strong>and paste them in c:\/\/chromedriver\/*.exe<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
4. create script in any loacation ie test.py<\/p>\r\n
from selenium import webdriver\r\nfrom selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys\r\nfrom selenium.webdriver.common.by import By\r\nfrom selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service\r\n\r\nservice = Service(executable_path=\"C:\\\\chromedriver\\\\chromedriver.exe\")\r\noptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()\r\ndriver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)\r\ndriver.get(\"http:\/\/www.python.org\")\r\nassert \"Python\" in driver.title\r\nelem = driver.find_element(By.NAME, \"q\")\r\nelem.clear()\r\nelem.send_keys(\"pycon\")\r\nelem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)\r\nassert \"No results found.\" not in driver.page_source\r\ndriver.close()\r\n\r\ndriver.quit()\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\r\n
Run the script<\/p>\r\n
py test.py<\/code><\/pre>\r\n
 <\/p>\r\n
FOR STEP 3 NOW Good approach is <\/p>\r\n
pip install webdriver-manager<\/code><\/pre>\r\n
Chrome:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
from selenium import webdriver\r\nfrom selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService\r\nfrom webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager\r\ndriver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()))<\/code><\/pre>\r\n
Edge:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
# selenium 4\r\nfrom selenium import webdriver\r\nfrom selenium.webdriver.edge.service import Service as EdgeService\r\nfrom webdriver_manager.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager\r\ndriver = webdriver.Edge(service=EdgeService(EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install()))<\/code><\/pre>\r\n
