'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH using GeckoDriver and Firefox through Selenium

Closed last year.
I will provide my code, with included error message. I believe I need to move the gecko driver to PATH, but I tried to do some research on how to do this and unfortunately I didn't find anything definitive. I'm hoping that someone could give me a hand.

I haven't programmed in years. I am trying to learn to automate a task for work. I was able to successfully install selenium for Python after having some issues.
This is the simple program I am trying to test to make sure my installation was successful.
Note - I was having issues installing selenium so I had to set the path and some other stuff. So I'm thinking some of those changes might have affected running this Python program.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("pycon")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.close()
When I run the program on the command prompt this is what I get.
>py main.py

I am trying to make selenium work with Firefox 71.00 x64 en-US, the code I am entering is:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
but the browser doesn't start and I keep getting this error even if I already added to the system path both geckodriver(last version downloadable) and the directory to firefox.exe:
File "C:\Users\Tommaso\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 72, in start

Fixed it by adding geckodriver.exe to the same directory as python.exe.
