Find the latest version of chromedriver here  Once downloaded  unzip it at the root of your Python installation  e g   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 previous answers are correct  Following is the little deep dive into the problem and solution  The driver constructor in Selenium for example WebDriver driver   new ChromeDriver     searches for the driver executable  in this case the Google Chrome driver searches for a 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                  param exeName Name of the executable file to look for in PATH       param exeProperty Name of a system property that specifies the path to the executable file       param exeDocs The link to the driver documentation page       param exeDownload The link to the driver download page            return The driver executable as a   link File  object       throws IllegalStateException If the executable not found or cannot be executed         protected static File findExecutable        String exeName        String exeProperty        String exeDocs        String exeDownload        String defaultPath   new ExecutableFinder   find exeName       String exePath   System getProperty exeProperty  defaultPath       checkState exePath    null           quot The path to the driver executable must be set by the  s system property  quot                 quot  for more information  see  s   quot                 quot The latest version can be downloaded from  s quot               exeProperty  exeDocs  exeDownload        File exe   new File exePath       checkExecutable exe       return exe       The following is the check state method which throws the exception             Ensures the truth of an expression involving the state of the calling instance  but not      involving any parameters to the calling method             lt p gt See   link  checkState boolean  String  Object      for details          public static void checkState        boolean b         Nullable String errorMessageTemplate         Nullable Object p1         Nullable Object p2         Nullable Object p3        if   b          throw new IllegalStateException format errorMessageTemplate  p1  p2  p3               SOLUTION  set the system property before creating driver object as follows  System setProperty  quot webdriver gecko driver quot    quot path to chromedriver exe quot    WebDriver driver   new ChromeDriver     The following is the code snippet  for Chrome and Firefox  where the driver service searches for the driver executable  Chrome      Override     protected File findDefaultExecutable           return findExecutable  quot chromedriver quot   CHROME DRIVER EXE PROPERTY             quot https   github com SeleniumHQ selenium wiki ChromeDriver quot              quot http   chromedriver storage googleapis com index html quot           Firefox   Override  protected File findDefaultExecutable           return findExecutable           quot geckodriver quot   GECKO DRIVER EXE PROPERTY           quot https   github com mozilla geckodriver quot            quot https   github com mozilla geckodriver releases quot           where CHROME DRIVER EXE PROPERTY    quot webdriver chrome driver quot  and GECKO DRIVER EXE PROPERTY    quot webdriver gecko driver quot  Similar is the case for other browsers  and the following is the snapshot of the list of the available browser implementation
