Question or problem about Python programming:
- Chrome Executable Path Machinery
- Chrome Executable Path Mac Os
- Windows Executable Path
- Chrome Driver Executable Path
Error message:
According to 'chrome install location osx', which leads to How do I change the Chrome installation folder on a Mac?, it is with the rest of the applications in the usual spot at /Applications/Google Chrome.app. If it's not there, multiple techniques for locating it (or any application) can be found here (also via the search results above). In windows, we have already seen working with IE, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers as well. In windows, it’s quite easy to download and specify the path in the program but in MAC we have to keep all the driver in a specific folder and then Selenium will start the execution directly. First step- Download the drivers for MAC. Google Chrome Exe path on MAC Showing 1-13 of 13 messages. Google Chrome Exe path on MAC: Alok Pattnaik: 1/15/13 5:00 AM: Hi All.
- (The PATH variable helps Chrome find the downloaded ChromeDriver exe). Also it’s a lot of work for something so common. Never fear, here is a better way: Installing on macOS: Listed in order of easiest to hardest install, these are the best ways to install ChromeDriver on a Mac.
- I have the same problem after installation. OSX 10.10.5, chrome 45. Filesystem not case-sensitive. Path to chrome is /Applications/Google Chrome.app. After installation it launched chrome once, then it gave the message that it could not find chrome anymore. I have no idea how to change the level of permission on an app-by-app basis.
I was trying to code a script using selenium in pycharm, however the error above occured. I have already linked my selenium to pycharm as seen here (fresh and up to date).
I am new to selenium, isn’t chromedriver in the folder “selenium.”
If it isn’t, where can I find it and add it to the path?
By the way, I tried typing “chromedriver” in cmd, however, it wasn’t recognized as an internal or external command.
error shown below:
How to solve the problem:
Solution 1:
You can download ChromeDriver here:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
Then you have multiple options:
Chrome Executable Path Machinery
- add it to your system
path - put it in the same directory as your python script
specify the location directly via
executable_path
Solution 2:
Another way is download and unzip chromedriver and put ‘chromedriver.exe’ in C:Python27Scripts and then you need not to provide the path of driver, just
will work
Solution 3:
Try this :
Solution 4:
Chrome Executable Path Mac Os
Do not include the ‘.exe’ in your file path.
For example:

try this :
Solution 6:
Another way is download and unzip chromedriver and put ‘chromedriver.exe’ in C:Python27Scripts and then you need not to provide the path of driver, just
will work
Can testify that this also works for Python3.7.
Solution 7:
An answer from 2020. The following code solves this. A lot of people new to selenium seem to have to get past this step.
Install the chromedriver and put it inside a folder on your desktop. Also make sure to put the selenium python project in the same folder as where the chrome driver is located.
Change USER_NAME and FOLDER in accordance to your computer.
For Windows
For Linux/Mac
Windows Executable Path
Hope this helps!
To start any third party browser (Chrome, Opera etc.) Chrome browser on MAC using Selenium we have to use some drivers which will interact with the browsers.
In windows, we have already seen working with IE, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers as well.
In windows, it’s quite easy to download and specify the path in the program but in MAC we have to keep all the driver in a specific folder and then Selenium will start the execution directly.
First step- Download the drivers for MAC
Download link http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.23/
Second step- In MAC we have one directory called /usr/local/
Chrome Driver Executable Path
In above location, you can create bin folder (if not created).
Now you have to copy the driver in /usr/local/bin and that all
Good thing which I like here is we don’t have to remember the path variable like webdriver.chrome.driver
