How to Install Selenium in Eclipse – Step by Step Guide

• • The download should get started for ‘selenium-server-standalone-x.y.z.jar’. Save this JAR in “C:Selenium”.
  • Next, you have to download Selenium Java Client. In the same downloads page, scroll down and you will find a section called Selenium Client and WebDriver Language. Now, click on Download link under Java as shown below.

• • Extract the zip file and save it in your selenium folder.
  • Next, you have to download Chrome Driver for Google Chrome and Gecko Driver if you are using Mozilla Firefox.
  • In the same downloads page, scroll further down and you will find third-party drivers section. There you will find options for downloading gecko driver and chrome driver as shown in the below figure.

• • In the next page, you will find the latest version available. You can choose that and download based on your system configuration. You can refer the below image for your OS configuration.
     
    

• You can simply download the driver, extract the zip file and save it in any location. Similarly, you can download the latest version of gecko driver and save it if you are using the Mozilla browser.
• Next, you can simply create a new project in Eclipse IDE and add all the external selenium jar files from selenium lib directory. 
  • First, launch Eclipse and create new project as shown below.
    
    
  • Next, specify the name of the project and create a class.
    

   

• Let’s create a class file and give public access modifier.
  
• Next, you should add referenced libraries to your project. Click on your project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path and add external JARs as shown in the figure.
  
• Now you are all set to execute the first Selenium program. You can run the below script and check the output.

package Edureka;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class FirstSeleniumScript {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:Selenium-java-edurekachromedriver_win32chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(40, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://login.yahoo.com/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='login-username']")).sendKeys("edureka@yahoo.com");
} 
}
