How to install seleniumHQ for Python on Windows?
Ok, I finally did it but not at all. I just installed seleniumHQ:
- Download the last pip version from here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip#downloads
- Uncompress it
- Download the last easy installer for Windows: (download the .exe at the bottom of http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools ). Install it.
- Go to the uncompressed pip directory and: python setup.py install
- Add your python c:\Python2x\Scripts to the path
- Run cmd.exe and type: pip install -U selenium
and I can finally type:
python
>> from selenium import selenium
>>
and it works, yay! But still have problems with installing this:
xvfb xserver-xephyr
On Ubuntu/Debian OS I just need to type:
sudo apt-get install python-pip xvfb xserver-xephyr
and it works but how about Windows?
EDIT:
You cant install xvfb xserver-xephyr on Windows but You can install splinter which is a SeleniumHQ nice wrapper, you can install it by typing:
pip install splinter
thats all, good luck :)

I would like to know how to install SeleniumHQ on Windows XP/Vista/7?
On Ubuntu/Debian system you need to just type those commands:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip $ sudo pip install selenium $ sudo apt-get install python-pip xvfb xserver-xephyr $ sudo pip install selenium
and then I can do this:
#!/usr/bin/env python from selenium import selenium # ...
but how about Windows? Thanks for any help (I know where to find Selenium doc but still - would anybody be so kind to give me some steps: I mean, download this, do that ...)
