Selenium Install "A Java Exception has occurred"

[medwa...@gmail.com]

I got an old computer that had an older version of Selenium on it so I uninstalled it and downloaded 3.3.1 but when I tried to install it I got a "A Java Exception has occurred" error.  I want to use Python not java. How do I fix this?

Can you please help elaborate as to what do you mean by “I tried to install 3.3.1” ??

Maybe you could help list out all the steps that you followed one by one ?

 

 

I think you ended up downloading the uber jar from here and you are trying to run it as below

 

09:11 $ java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar

For running the uber jar you definitely need JDK8 to be installed on your machine. So please check if that pre-requisite is satisfied.

I downloaded and installed (jdk-8u121-windows-x64) the JDK8 file but when I double click on the downloaded (selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar) Selenium file nothing happened.

I got the JDk8 from (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html) Java SE Development Kit 8u121, Windows x64 addition.

Have you tried opening up a command prompt and then starting the server as a :

1. Standalone (or)
2. Hub (or)
3. Node

Via java -jar command ?

I don't know how to do that.
I installed:
jdk-8u121-windows-x64
Java 8 update
python-3.6.0-amd64-webinstall

I downloaded selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1 but when I double click on it nothing happens.
What do I type on the cmd to install Selenium so i can use it with Python.
The latest version of python does not create a "C:\Python34" folder and all the install directions I have found call for that.

Thank you for all your help.  The path wasn't set up correctly.
