I\'m struggling to follow the directions for installing Selenium on a windows machine and I need it for both Python 7.5 and C# platforms.
I ran the command :
Have you tried this Python 3: ImportError "No Module named Setuptools" ?
According to this post, it might work even better with easy_install. Couldn't install pip and selenium in windows7
Windows 7:
1. Install PyCharm education Edition IDE with Python 2.7 (JetBrains: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-educational/)
2. Setup easy install (windows - simplified)
a. download ez.setup.py (https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py) from 'https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools'
b. move ez.setup.py to C:\Python27\
c. open cmd prompt
d. cd C:\Python27\
e. C:\Python27\python.exe ez.setup.py install
3. Setup selenium webdriver for python
a. Download selenium source code from pypi : selenium-2.45.0.tar.gz from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium
b. unzip it using 7Z software
c. open cmd prompt
d. cd to selenium-2.45.0 unzipped directory
e. C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install
4. Test selenium webdriver for python
a. Open PyCharm IDE
b. create a new python file with the following contents:
from selenium import webdriver
browser=webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://seleniumhq.org/')
c. Run the python script
d. Firefox browser will open and navigate to the intended website
5. Done!
