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/

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.

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

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')
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.
