You need to specify the path where your chromedriver is located    Download chromedriver for your desired platform from here  Place chromedriver on your system path  or where your code is  If not using a system path  link your chromedriver exe  For non-Windows users  it s just called chromedriver    browser   webdriver Chrome executable path r C  path to chromedriver exe      Set executable path to the location where your chromedriver is located    If you ve placed chromedriver on your System Path  you can shortcut by just doing the following   browser   webdriver Chrome   If you re running on a Unix-based operating system  you may need to update the permissions of chromedriver after downloading it in order to make it executable   chmod  x chromedriver That s all  If you re still experiencing issues  more info can be found on this other StackOverflow article  Can  39 t use chrome driver for Selenium
