Installing Selenium
WebDriver
Under this Tutorial you
will install Configure Eclipse and Webdriver (Java only).
Step 1 – First Install the Java on the computer
First Download and install the Java Software Development Kit (JDK).
From the
following url: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
 |
| Installing Selenium WebDriver |
Step2: Now need
to install the Edipse IDE
Download
the “Eclipse IDE for Java Developers” from the url given
below. Be sure to select appropriate between the versions of Windows 32 Bit and
64 Bit.
url for
download -: http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download
 |
| install the Edipse IDE |
Step 3 – Download the Selenium Java Client Driver
We can download Selenium
Java Client Driver from url given below. We will search the
client driver for another language, but only select the one only Java out of
all.
Url - http://seleniumhq.org/download/
Such download come as the ZIP file ‘selenium - 2.25.0.zip’. For more easiness, pull out the content of available ZIP files on our C drive so that we would have to use directory “C:\selenium - 2.25.0\”. This directory includes all JAR files that you would import later on Eclipses.
Step 4 – Configure Eclipse IDE with the WebDriver
- Start “eclipse.exe” file inside the “eclipse” folder that we extracted in step 2. If we followed step 2 appropriately, the run able should be situated on C:\eclipse \eclipse.exe.
- When asked to choose for the workspace, just agree to the location default.
• Now Just develop the new project through File -> New -> Java Project. Name of the project as “my project”.
• Now Just Right - click
on the newly developed project and choose the New -> Packages, and namng
that package as “my package”.
• Develop the new
Java class inside my package by right - clicking on it and then choosing
the New -> Class, and then name it as quite like “my class”.
• Right - click on my project and choose the Properties.
• Right - click on my project and choose the Properties.
• From Properties
dialog, Need to click on “Java Build Path”.
• Now need to Click
on the Libraries tab, and then click on “Add External JARs...”
• Now Visited the
C:\selenium-2.25.0\ (or any another site where we saved the extracted content
of “selenium - 2.25.0.zip” in step 3).
• Need to Add all the
available JAR files and outside the folder “libs”. Our Properties dialog box should
now looks like similar to the image.
• Lastly, click the button OK and you have completed the importing Selenium libraries into available projects.
• Lastly, click the button OK and you have completed the importing Selenium libraries into available projects.
Different Drivers
HTML Unit and
Firefox both are two browsers that WebDriver can automate directly – stands that no other divided components are required to configure
or execute during the test is being run. For some more browsers, the separate
programs are required. That programs are called as Driver Server.
The driver servers are
different from each other browsers. For an example, Internet Explorer has its
own drivers for servers which we can not utilize on other browser. List given below
is the list of servers of driver and the corresponding browsers that utilize
them.

| Different Drivers |
Summary
- Apart from the browsers, we will require to follow to start the utilizing WebDriver
- Java Development Kit (JDK). http://www.oracle.com/ technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
- Eclipse IDE - http:// www.eclipse.org/downloads/
- Java Client Driver - http:// seleniumhq.org/download/
- When launching the WebDriver projects in Eclipse, don’t forget to import the Java Client Driver files onto our projects. Such files will comprise our Selenium Library.
- Firefox and HTMLUnit are the only browser that make us and can automate without the help of any Driver Server.
- All and each browsers have its own server of driver.
