Issue when trying to run Chromedriver and receive PATH error message - Please Help

[xpo...@gmail.com]

Hello:

I am trying to run a script and when I run python main.py, I receive this message. Any idea how to resolve?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 230, in <module>
lv = LouisVuittonAPI(region, browser)
File "main.py", line 50, in __init__
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 62, in __init__
self.service.start()
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 81, in start
os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

Thanks for any help

Put chromedriver in the PATH ?

Could you explain how I can do that? Sorry I'm not tech savvy.

On Linux or OSX? You can put the chromedriver executable in /usr/local/bin/  . I'm not a Windows person, but I think you can google how to add something to the PATH.

I'm actually running it on OSX. Any chance you can provide some step by step instructions?

Path to chromedriver binary can be set while instantiating Chromedriver. Please see below sample code:

import time
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome('/path/to/chromedriver')
driver.get('http://www.google.com/');

Hope this helps!
