Exec format error - while executing sample code from selenium [duplicate]

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

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

How can I run chromedriver on repl.it

I basically want to use selenium on repl.it, but don't know how to do that. I tried installing chromedriver into repl.it but I still get this error:

This is my code
from selenium import webdriver

driver.get("https://youtube.com")

Try forking this Repl, it has working Selenium that you can use: Advanced Selenium Options

Issues getting chromedriver to work on Ubuntu AWS

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.

Python Selenium " 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH"

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

>>>browser = webdriver.Firefox()

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH.
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.

Hi in Pycharm I have installed Selenium in virtualenv. I try execute
from selenium import webdriver
#from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
#binary = FirefoxBinary('/webdriver/firefox')
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://localhost:8000')
assert 'Django ' in browser.title
but I have error

I download geckodriver ver. 11 and add to variable path and add in bashrc
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/usr/bin export
WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/MyProject
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 source
/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
source django_env/bin/activate export
PATH=$PATH:/home/darek/webdriver/firefox/geckodriver export

what can I do more?
