Installing ChromeDriver on Windows

Installing on Windows 7 & 10:

The following are the best ways to install ChromeDriver on Windows so you can run Selenium:

• The easiest way to install ChromeDriver is to use a package manager such as Chocolatey. You should really have a package manager if you don’t now:
  1. Install Chocolatey. I used the cmd.exe method and it worked really quickly.
  2. Install ChromeDriver choco install chromedriver
  3. Confirm it was installed by typing chromedriver —version into your command line and seeing that it returns a version number. If it errors, ChromeDriver wasn’t installed.
• Or run Chrome & ChromeDriver in a container such as Docker. Simply download the combined container, start it and point your code at the right address. Here’s an example.
