How to install firefoxdriver webdriver for python3 selenium on ubuntu?

Question

I installed python3-selenium apt package on Ubuntu 16.04. While installing, got a message:

Suggested packages:
  chromedriver firefoxdriver
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  python3-selenium

When I try to run test cases in python3-django, I get the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/firefoxdriver/webdriver.xpi'

I did searching for packages name firefoxdriver in Ubuntu repositories but none exist.

Any help with installing the webdrivers appreciated.

Answer 1

I'm not sure how to install the Firefox webdriver after installing the python3-selenium package.

You could install using pip instead, ideally in a virtual environment.

If you have Firefox installed and you run pip install selenium in your virtual environment, you should be good to go.
