How to setup Chrome driver with Selenium on MacOS?

Answer 1

Hey Nushrat, setting up Chrome driver with Selenium is an easy task for Windows OS, but in MacOS you have follow this procedure:

1. Download the Chrome drivers for MAC from here: http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=76.0.3809.68/
   
   

2. Now, in MAC navigate to one directory called /usr/local/:
   
   

3. In the above folder, check if bin folder is there or not. If not, create a bin folder and copy the driver in /usr/local/bin :
   
   

And that's it. you have configured the chrome driver for Selenium. The good thing here is that we don’t have to remember the path variable like webdriver.chrome.driver in Windows.

Answer 2

Hi Nushrat,

In MacOs follow the steps and u will get the chrome set up ::

First and foremost check if any Antivirus is running. If so, Disable it.

Second check the version of your chrome and make it latest to be in ur pc.

Third get the chrome driver for the version of chrome  u are using (like i used version 84 so got chrome driver for same version)and put the .exe file in the /usr/local/bin folder.

If u cant find the /usr/local/bin then go to the terminal type:: chflags nohidden ~/usr

Go to finder press CMD+Shift_G and go to the /usr/local/bin path and now paste the chrome driver .exe file.

Now it shall surely run the webdriver.Chrome()

All The Best!
