CodePudding user response：

you need to install a chrome driver and tell selenium where to find it. by either:

updating your PATH
using executable_path when instantiating a new driver

then install chrome and tell chrome driver where to find it.

CodePudding user response：

The message indicate that the chrome driver was either not installed or not found by Python code.

Check the following link to setup chrome drivers:

https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver

The best way is to download the binary from following link:

https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/

Once done, you can identify the path to the driver present in the local directory like following:

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
options.binary_location = "C:\\Program Files\\Chrome\\chrome64_55.0.2883.75\\chrome.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options = options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('http://google.com/')
print("Chrome Browser Invoked")
driver.quit()
