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.

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="/usr/bin/geckodriver")
browser.get('http://www.ubuntu.com/')
The entire stack trace looks like:

my path to geckodriver is:
/usr/bin/geckodriver
And selenium is in:
selenium in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (3.12.0)
Thanks in advance!
You have most probably installed a version of geckodriver that is meant for a different OS/platform! get the correct version from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases and replace the one you have.
Use this command to install the latest chrome driver which supports selenium:
sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

I am new at Python and selenium and I want to build an webdriver or bot respectively. I tried to execute the code below with inserting "python3 main.py" and with running the code on VS code but it is not working. The error result is enclosed. I am using Mac. The chromedriver exec is in the same main folder like the code I am writing, so actually the Path should be right. I tried different ways to solve my problem but non of them worked. I have the right chromedriver version on my mac and I even allowed my system to open the chromedriver folder.

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):

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
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

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

Is this something to do with specifying the path?? Really confused as I am inexperienced with bash

Am I missing something? I have Mercurial installed and am able to clone the build tools repo.
Judging from the error message, /usr/bin/firefox couldn't be started because:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
ABP Crawler requires Firefox to be installed, it will automate Firefox in order to collect data. If Firefox is actually installed, maybe the path is /usr/local/bin/firefox or something similar. You can run which firefox from the command line if you aren't sure.
