How to install Selenium WebDriver on Mac OS

Question

How to install Selenium WebDriver on Mac OS X 10.7.5, supporting Chrome, Firefox and Safari? What I need to install, where to install.

Answer 1

Install

If you are using homebrew (which I recommend), you can install selenium using:

brew install selenium-server-standalone 

Launch

updated -port port_number

To start selenium, run: selenium-server -port 4444

Additional options: selenium-server -help

Answer 2

Mac already has Python and a package manager named easy_install , so open Terminal and type

 sudo easy_install selenium 

Answer 3

To use the java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.45.0.jar command-line java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.45.0.jar , you need to install the JDK. You need to download and install the JDK and standalone selenium server.

Answer 4

First you need to download the Selenium jar files from http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ . Then you need an IDE, something like IntelliJ or Eclipse. Then you will need to map your jar files to these IDEs. Then, depending on which language / framework you choose, you will need to download the appropriate library files, for example, if you use JUnit, you will have to download the Junit 4.11 jar file. Finally, be sure to download drivers for Chrome and Safari (the firefox driver comes with selenium). After that, you can start coding and testing your code using the browser of your choice.

Answer 5

Not sure which language you are using. But it will help you get started with Python and Firefox.
