Setting up the Selenium

 Setting up the Selenium library for your favourite programming language.

First you need to install the Selenium bindings for your automation project. The installation process for libraries depends on the language you choose to use. Make sure you check the Selenium downloads page to make sure you are using the latest version.

Installation of Selenium libraries for Java is accomplished using a build tool.

Maven

Specify the dependencies in the project’s pom.xml file:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
            <version>${selenium.version}</version>
        </dependency>

Gradle

Specify the dependency in the project build.gradle file as testImplementation:

    testImplementation 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:4.31.0'
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.12.1'
