You need to download the executable driver from: ChromeDriver Download

Then all you need to do is use the following before creating the driver object (already shown in the correct order):

This was extracted from the most useful guide from the ChromeDriver Documentation.

You should download the chromeDriver in a folder, and add this folder in your PATH variable.You'll have to restart your console to make it works.

If you're using homebrew on a MacOS, you can use the command:

(EDIT): brew tap homebrew/cask && brew cask install chromedriver

It should work fine after that with no other configuration.

You need to install chrome driver. You can install this package using nugget as shown below

Find the latest version of chromedriverhere.Once downloaded, unzip it at the root of your python installation, eg C:/Program Files/Python-3.5, and that's it.You don't even need to specify the path anywhere and/or add chromedriver to your path or the like.I just did it on a clean Python installation and that works.

All the answers above are correct, following is the little deep dive into the problem and solution.

The driver constructor in selenium for example

searches for the driver executable, in this case chrome driver searches for chrome driver executable, in case the service is unable to find the executable the exception is thrown

this is where the exception comes from (note the check state method)

Following is the check state method which throws the exception

SOLUTION: set the system property before creating driver object as follows

Selenium Webdriver Python

following is the code snippet (for chrome and firefox) where the driver service searches for the driver executable:

Chrome:

FireFox:

where CHROME_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY = 'webdriver.chrome.driver'and GECKO_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY = 'webdriver.gecko.driver'

similar is the case for other browsers, following is the snapshot of the list of the available browser implementation

On Ubuntu, you can simply install the chromium-chromedriver package:

Be aware that this also installs an outdated selenium version. To install the latest selenium:
