I don't have any idea what to make of this. And I haven't found anyone with the same issue. Anyone know a fix?
You need to chromedriver binary and the path of binary as below:
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver.exe')
Download your chromedriver as per your chrome version from below location :
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

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.

Your exception is clear:
WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in
PATH.
You have to specify the path to the geckodriver:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'/patToYour/geckodriver')

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/
Even though I have already put geckodriver in there and I restarted my computer, it still prints the same thing.

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.
