More Info
More info on selenium can be found here:
Selenium requires a driver to interface with the chosen browser. Firefox, for example, requires geckodriver, which needs to be installed before the below examples can be run. Make sure it's in your PATH, e. g., place it in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.
Failure to observe this step will give you an error selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH.
I faced same issue in Linux. I used below steps to fix that Error.
cd /bin

rm geckodriver-v0.24.0-linux32.tar.gz
chmod +x geckodriver
export PATH=$PATH:/bin/geckodriver
geckodriver --version
Note : I tried with latest version geckodriver-v0.26.0 but it not working for me, That's Why I installed the old version v0.24.0
