New User - Cannot issue with connecting

[Ammar A. Ali]

Hi,

I am very new and was following a tutorial step by step to learn selenium. Doing something very basic below, and getting an error. Can someone please help?

Code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()))

driver.get("https://www.google.com.sg/")

Error:
