## [](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/) Installing webdrivers To run web automation, you'll need webdrivers for each browser you plan on using. With SeleniumBase, drivers are downloaded automatically as needed into the SeleniumBase ``drivers`` folder. You can also download drivers manually with these commands: ```bash seleniumbase get chromedriver seleniumbase get geckodriver seleniumbase get edgedriver ``` After running the commands above, web drivers will get downloaded into the ``seleniumbase/drivers/`` folder. SeleniumBase uses those drivers during tests. (The drivers don't come with SeleniumBase by default.) If the necessary driver is not found in this location while running tests, SeleniumBase will instead look for the driver on the System PATH. If the necessary driver is not on the System PATH either, SeleniumBase will automatically attempt to download the required driver. * You can also download specific versions of drivers. Examples: ```bash sbase get chromedriver 114 sbase get chromedriver 114.0.5735.90 sbase get chromedriver stable sbase get chromedriver beta sbase get chromedriver dev sbase get chromedriver canary sbase get chromedriver previous # One major version before the stable version sbase get chromedriver mlatest # Milestone latest version for detected browser sbase get edgedriver 115.0.1901.183 ``` (NOTE: ``sbase`` is a shortcut for ``seleniumbase``) -------- If you plan on using the [Selenium Grid integration](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/seleniumbase/utilities/selenium_grid/ReadMe.md) (which allows for ``remote`` webdriver), you'll need to put the drivers on your System PATH. On macOS and Linux, ``/usr/local/bin`` is a good PATH spot. On Windows, you may need to set the System PATH under Environment Variables to include the location where you placed the driver files. As a shortcut, you could place the driver files into your Python ``Scripts/`` folder in the location where you have Python installed, which should already be on your System PATH. Here's where you can go to manually get web drivers from the source: * For Chrome, get [Chromedriver](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads) on your System PATH. * For Edge, get [Edge Driver (Microsoft WebDriver)](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/) on your System PATH. * For Firefox, get [Geckodriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases) on your System PATH. * For Safari, get [Safari Driver](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/using_safari_driver.md) on your System PATH. **macOS shortcuts**: * You can also install drivers by using ``brew`` (aka ``homebrew``): ```bash brew install --cask chromedriver brew install geckodriver ``` You can also upgrade existing webdrivers: ```bash brew upgrade --cask chromedriver brew upgrade geckodriver ``` **Linux shortcuts**: If you still need drivers, these scripts download ``chromedriver`` and ``geckodriver`` to a Linux machine: ```bash wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/114.0.5735.90/chromedriver_linux64.zip unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin/ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/chromedriver ``` ```bash wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.34.0/geckodriver-v0.34.0-linux64.tar.gz tar xvfz geckodriver-v0.34.0-linux64.tar.gz mv geckodriver /usr/local/bin/ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/geckodriver ``` To verify that web drivers are working, **[follow these instructions](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/verify_webdriver.md)**.
