Downloading images at a particular location in selenium python

I am trying to download images using selenium but I don't know how to direct those files at a desired location. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Use this code to set desire download location in Selenium-Python bindings :
executable_path = r"C:\\Selenium+Python\\chromedriver.exe"
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {'download.default_directory' : '/path/to/dir'}
options.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path, options=options)
You need to change /path/to/dir to your desired location.

In case you are using a Chrome webdriver you can use these settings:
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("download.default_directory=C:/Downloads")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
Here I set it to "C:/Downloads" but you can change it to any other destination.
For the Firefox you can use this:
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir", 'PATH TO DESKTOP')
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/x-gzip")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
Where 'PATH TO DESKTOP' is a path on your disk where you want to download your files

as per this post to download using firefox
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
path = 'C:\\downloads'
profile.set_preference('browser.download.folderList', 2) # custom location
profile.set_preference('browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting', False)
profile.set_preference('browser.download.dir', path)
profile.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk', 'image/png', 'image/jpeg')
then select the button to download and click it.
if you only have the link of the image, i'd recommend using something like mechanize or urllib to download the contents
img = driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath)
src = img.get_attribute('src')
# download the image
req = urllib.urlopen(src)
f = open(filename,'wb')
f.write(req.read())
f.close()

Click on a file to download Selenium Python

I use Selenium (python) and Firefox portable browser.
My goal is to download a lot of files using selenium (namely through Selenium).
When you click on the link, the file should start downloading, but this window opens.
Tell me, are there any selenium settings to avoid opening such a window?

Try to set preference neverAsk.saveToDisk
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
def example():
opt = Options()
opt.headless = False # Or True
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
"application/vnd.ms-powerpoint")
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\folder_name\\Downloads")
firefox_browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp, options=opt)

Let me know if this Answers your Question.

You are getting the exception ElementNotInteractableException because the element will be accessible after once the popup opens up. You are missing to click the download link which opens up the popup. please try the following,
from selenium import webdriver
fp=webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","text/csv")
browser = webdriver.Firefox(fp)
browser.get("https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=&term=lomitapide&cntry1=&state1=&SearchAll=Search+all+studies&recrs=")
browser.find_element_by_id("save-list-link").click()
browser.find_element_by_id("submit-download-list")

Error while installing chrome extension through Python - selenium

I am trying to install chrome extension using Python Selenium.
When I click Add to chrome button a pop up(don't know whether it is a java scripted) is generated asking: "Add extension", "Cancel". I want to click "Add extension" but I am getting following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoAlertPresentException: Message: no alert open
My code:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver=webdriver.Chrome()
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get("https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/buyhatke/jaehkpjddfdgiiefcnhahapilbejohhj?hl=en")
time.sleep(15)
element=driver.find_element_by_css_selector("body > div.F-ia-k.S-ph.S-Rc-qa > div.h-F-f-k.F-f-k > div > div > div.e-f-o > div.h-e-f-Ra-c.e-f-oh-Md-zb-k >
div.dd-Va.g-c-wb.g-eg-ua-Uc-c-za.g-c-Oc-td-jb-oa.g-c")
element.click()
alert = driver.switch_to.alert
alert.accept()
help me to install it.
Updated code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
import os
executable_path = "C:\\Users\\SACHIN\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\chromedriver"
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = executable_path
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_extension("C:\\Users\\SACHIN\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\chrome\\User Data\\Default\\Extensions\\jaehkpjddfdgiiefcnhahapilbejohhj\\
3.4.143_0")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=executable_path,chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")
driver.quit()

This is because the download option pop up that you are trying to select using switch_to.alert is not actually a JS alert pop up. You can not select is using Selenium's switch_to methods. You need to use the DesiredCapabilities class to select this option and then use it in your code.
As per the ChromeDriver documentation, given here, please use the packed( the one with .crx extension ) or unpacked extension file (directory containing the extension, including a manifest.json file) and load it using DesiredCapabilities. This can be done using
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
executable_path = "path_to_webdriver"
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = executable_path
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_extension('path_to_extension')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=executable_path,chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")
driver.quit()
