The below info were taken from: Python - Getting Started With Selenium WebDriver on Ubuntu/Debian

WebDriver (part of Selenium 2) is a library for automating browsers, and can be used from a variety of language bindings. It allows you to programmatically drive a browser and interact with web elements. It is most often used for test automation, but can be adapted to a variety of web scraping or automation tasks.

To use the WebDriver API in Python, you must first install the Selenium Python bindings. This will give you access to your browser from Python code. The easiest way to install the bindings is via pip.

On Ubuntu/Debian systems, this will install pip (and dependencies) and then install the Selenium Python bindings from PyPI:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install selenium

After the installation, the following code should work:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get(')

This should open a Firefox browser sessions and navigate to

Here is a simple functional test in Python, using Selenium WebDriver and the unittest framework:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import unittest
from selenium import webdriver
class TestUbuntuHomepage(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): self.browser = webdriver.Firefox() def testTitle(self): self.browser.get(') self.assertIn('Ubuntu', self.browser.title) def tearDown(self): self.browser.quit()
if __name__ == '__main__': unittest.main(verbosity=2)

Output:

testTitle (__main__.TestUbuntuHomepage) ... ok
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 5.931s
OK

Install latest google-chrome webdriver for Python-selenium binding:

$ LATEST=$(wget -q -O - )
$ wget
$ unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip && sudo ln -s $PWD/chromedriver /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Try below Example to open '' in google-chrome browser:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get(')

Following is the link for Firefox-webdriver: Install Firefox web-driver

You may also need to update the path, as explained here

• On Unix systems you can do the following to append it to your system’s search path, if you’re using a bash-compatible shell:

  export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory/of/executable/downloaded/in/previous/step

• On Windows you will need to update the Path system variable to add the full directory path to the executable geckodriver manually or command line(don't forget to restart your system after adding executable geckodriver into system PATH to take effect). The principle is the same as on Unix.
