Answer 1

This is not very clearly documented, but you cannot install webdriver from pypi but need to install selenium, which then gives you webdriver.

sudo pip install selenium

should do the trick. Or for modern python:

sudo python3 -m pip install selenium

You also need to install geckodriver (for Firefox) or chromedriver (for Chrome and Chromium) and have it in your path, to be able to instanciate a webdriver object.

After that things like the below should work:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34256762/error-could-not-find-a-version-that-satisfies-the-requirement-webdriver-from")

I encountered a similar problem on Ubuntu. I wanted to install a specific Selenium version, but I was not sure about the exact tag, as tag on Dockerhub differs a bit. So my steps were:

1 Go to https://pypi.org/project/selenium/#files

2 Click Release history tab

3 Find a specific version I needed. In my case it was 4.0.0.a7

4 From Linux Terminal execute:

pip install selenium==4.0.0.a7
