If you’re looking to use selenium and headless browsers on amazon web services (AWS) its essential that you install the relevant versions of selenium, ChromeDriver and Google Chrome to your EC2 instance. In this guide you’ll learn how to easily deploy and test a fully functional selenium python environment. Install ChromeDriver You will need to install ChromeDriver which allows you programmatic access to google chrome via the Webdriver API protocol. Go to Google Chrome for Testing GitHub Downloads page: https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/ Choose your desired Channel. I am choosing the Stable channel. Copy the URL for chromedriver binary according to your platform. Make sure its HTTP status is 200. I am choosing this URL for my Linux machine: https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/119.0.6045.105/linux64/chromedriver-linux64.zip cd /tmp/ wget https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/119.0.6045.105/linux64/chromedriver-linux64.zip unzip chromedriver-linux64.zip cd chromedriver-linux64 sudo mv chromedriver /usr/bin/chromedriver chromedriver –version If you get the fallowing error when running ‘chromedriver –version’ it indicates that the libnss3.so shared library file is missing or cannot be found on your system. libnss3.so is a part of the Network Security Services (NSS) library, which is used by various applications for SSL/TLS support. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps based on your operating system: For Ubuntu/Debian-based systems: For CentOS/RHEL-based systems: Once you’ve installed the required library, try running chromedriver –version again. If the issue persists, you may need to check if there are any other missing dependencies or if there are specific compatibility issues with your system. Additionally, make sure that your system is up-to-date with the latest updates and patches. Install Chrome on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint Open SSH terminal and use the following commands to install Google Chrome on Debian based Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Kali, and Linux Mint. cd /tmp/ wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb google-chrome –version Running a selinum test: python3 filename.py When i try to run the selenium test, I get this error: The error message “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘selenium’” indicates that Python cannot find the Selenium module in your current environment. To resolve this issue, you need to install the Selenium package. You can install Selenium using a package manager like pip. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command: pip install selenium Now I get following error: Then I tried running: python3 -m pip install selenium and got the following error: The error “No module named pip” indicates that the pip tool is not installed or not available for your Python installation. In some systems, the python3 installation may not include pip by default. You can install it separately. Here are some general steps: For Debian/Ubuntu-based systems: sudo apt updatesudo apt install python3-pip After this now you need to install selenium module. Using: pip3 install selenium
