Developed in collaboration with the Chromium team, ChromeDriver is a standalone server which implements WebDriver's wire protocol.
Latest Google Chrome With Chromedriver
View all ChromeDriver downloads The ChromeDriver consists of three separate pieces. There is the browser itself ('chrome'), the language bindings provided by the Selenium project ('the driver') and an executable downloaded from the Chromium project which acts as a bridge between 'chrome' and the 'driver'. The latest WebDriver atoms have been imported. Supports new spec compliant endpoints for executing scripts. Fixes a bug where Chromedriver fails to send characters 3 and # keys on Mac Chrome 62+.
Installing ChromeDriver on macOS The ChromeDriver getting started guide wasn’t super helpful with it’s installation instructions, mainly because I was unfamiliar with including the ChromeDriver location in my PATH environment variable (you have to help Chrome find the downloaded ChromeDriver). Download the latest chromedriver binary from ChromeDriver - WebDriver for Chrome and save it in your system. Ensure that chromedriver binary have the required permissions. While initiating the WebDriver and WebClient pass the argument executable_path along with the absolute path of the chromedriver binary as follows.
The ChromeDriver consists of three separate pieces. There is the browser itself ('chrome'), the language bindings provided by the Selenium project ('the driver') and an executable downloaded from the Chromium project which acts as a bridge between 'chrome' and the 'driver'. This executable is called 'chromedriver', but we'll try and refer to it as the 'server' in this page to reduce confusion.
Requirements
The server expects you to have Chrome installed in the default location for each system:
OS | Expected Location of Chrome |
---|---|
Linux | /usr/bin/google-chrome1 |
Mac | /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome |
Windows XP | %HOMEPATH%Local SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe |
Windows Vista and newer | C:Users%USERNAME%AppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe |
1 For Linux systems, the ChromeDriver expects /usr/bin/google-chrome to be a symlink to the actual Chrome binary. See also the section on overriding the Chrome binary location .

Running ChromeDriver as a standalone process
Dell driver download. Since the ChromeDriver implements the wire protocol, it is fully compatible with any RemoteWebDriver client. Simply start up the ChromeDriver executable (that works as a server), create a client, and away you go:
Troubleshooting
If you are using the RemoteWebDriver and you get the The path to the chromedriver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property error message you likely need to check that one of these conditions is met:
- The chromedriver binary is in the system path, or
- The Selenium Server was started with -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=c:pathtoyourchromedriver.exe

Think you've found a bug?
Check if the bug has been reported yet. If it hasn't, please open a new issue and be sure to include the following:
- What platform are you running on?
- What version of the chromedriver are you using?
- What version of Chrome are you using?
- The failure stacktrace, if available.
- The contents of chromedriver's log file (chromedriver.log).
Of course, if your bug has already been reported, you can update the issue with the information above. Having more information to work on makes it easier for us to track down the cause of the bug.
Testing earlier versions of Chrome
ChromeDriver is only compatible with Chrome version 12.0.712.0 or newer. If you need to test an older version of Chrome, use Selenium RC and a Selenium-backed WebDriver instance:
