An answer from 2020  The following code solves this  A lot of people new to selenium seem to have to get past this step   Install the chromedriver and put it inside a folder on your desktop  Also make sure to put the selenium python project in the same folder as where the chrome driver is located    Change USER NAME and FOLDER in accordance to your computer    For Windows  driver   webdriver Chrome r C  Users USER NAME Desktop FOLDER chromedriver      For Linux Mac  driver   webdriver Chrome   home USER NAME FOLDER chromedriver
