Selenium Library dont work correctly (Python 3)

After a long break of programming I wanted to start again with selenium.
I have installed the newest version and I placed the geckodriver executable in PATH, but theres a error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/Desktop/test.py", line 3, in <module>
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
File "/home/pi/Desktop/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 164, in __init__

raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: 'geckodriver
And my script is:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://seleniumhq.org/')
I searched very long now but dont found anything. I hope some1 can help me.

EDIT: I fixed it on my own by using sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver
Thanks for the guy in te comments for help

Issues getting chromedriver to work on Ubuntu AWS

I'm having problems getting chromedriver to run on an AWS EC2 instance, using Ubuntu. As you can see from the image below, I've used FileZilla to drop chromedriver into my remote Ubuntu site, in the same folder as the Python script itself. I've then modified my python code to access the chromedriver from Ubuntu server, rather from my local path:
options = Options()
driverLocation = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options,
executable_path=r'/home/ubuntu/bandsintown/chromedriver 4')
driverLocation.quit()
However, I'm getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "BandsInTown_Scraper_SF.py", line 33, in <module>
driverLocation = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'/home/ubuntu/bandsintown/chromedriver 4')

Try chromedriver\ 4 or remove the space from the filename.

I tried using selenium for building a program but it just does not support web driver. I am getting the following error.

Help would be appreciated.

it seems that you need to install chrome and chromedriver.
for debian linux:
apt install chromium
wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.29/chromedriver_linux64.zip
unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
sudo cp chromedriver /usr/bin/

Python Selenium " 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH"

Even though I have already put geckodriver in there and I restarted my computer, it still prints the same thing.
>>>from selenium import webdriver
>>>browser = webdriver.Firefox()

And an error before that as well! Someone please help a newbie out. Image of the Path variable

You need to mention the path of the gecko driver executable. Below line will get you some idea.
driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="add geckodriver.exe")
Hope this helps. Thanks.

selenium: unable to access geckodriver

I dowloaded the latest versions of both selenium and geckodriver.
I did the following:
bash
cp Downloads/geckodriver /usr/local/bin/
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/geckodriver
python
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
error
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error
UPDATE
I did the same thing with chrome web driver:
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
error
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.27.440174 (e97a722caafc2d3a8b807ee115bfb307f7d2cfd9),platform=Mac OS X 10.12.3 x86_64)
Is this something to do with specifying the path?? Really confused as I am inexperienced with bash
