Setting up the Selenium library for your favourite programming language.
First you need to install the Selenium bindings for your automation project. The installation process for libraries depends on the language you choose to use. Make sure you check the Selenium downloads page to make sure you are using the latest version.
View the minimum supported Java version here.
Installation of Selenium libraries for Java is accomplished using a build tool.

The minimum supported Python version for each Selenium version can be found in “Supported Python Versions” on PyPi.
There are a couple different ways to install Selenium.
PipAlternatively you can download the PyPI Built Distribution (selenium-x.x.x.-py3-none-any.whl) and install it using pip:
pip install selenium-x.x.x.-py3-none-any.whl
To use it in a project, add it to the requirements.txt file:
selenium==4.35.0
pytest==8.4.1
trio==0.30.0
pytest-trio==0.8.0
pytest-rerunfailures==15.1
flake8==7.3.0
requests==2.32.4
tox==4.28.4
pytest-xdist==3.8.0
A list of all supported frameworks for each version of Selenium is available on Nuget
There are a few options for installing Selenium.
Packet ManagerInstall-Package Selenium.WebDriver
dotnet add package Selenium.WebDriver
in the project’s csproj file, specify the dependency as a PackageReference in ItemGroup:
<PackageReference Include="Selenium.WebDriver" Version="4.35.0" /><Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
<GenerateProgramFile>false</GenerateProgramFile>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="17.11.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens" Version="7.7.1" />
<PackageReference Include="MSTest.TestAdapter" Version="3.6.0" />
<PackageReference Include="MSTest.TestFramework" Version="3.6.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Selenium.Support" Version="4.35.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Selenium.WebDriver" Version="4.35.0" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<Folder Include="LocalPackages" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
Further items of note for using Visual Studio Code (vscode) and C#
Install the compatible .NET SDK as per the section above. Also install the vscode extensions (Ctrl-Shift-X) for C# and NuGet. Follow the instruction here to create and run the “Hello World” console project using C#. You may also create a NUnit starter project using the command line dotnet new NUnit. Make sure the file %appdata%\NuGet\nuget.config is configured properly as some developers reported that it will be empty due to some issues. If nuget.config is empty, or not configured properly, then .NET builds will fail for Selenium Projects. Add the following section to the file nuget.config if it is empty:
<configuration>
<packageSources>
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/" />
</packageSources>
...
For more info about nuget.config click here. You may have to customize nuget.config to meet you needs.
Now, go back to vscode, press Ctrl-Shift-P, and type “NuGet Add Package”, and enter the required Selenium packages such as Selenium.WebDriver. Press Enter and select the version. Now you can use the examples in the documentation related to C# with vscode.
You can see the minimum required version of Ruby for any given Selenium version on rubygems.org
Selenium can be installed two different ways.
Install manuallygem install selenium-webdriver
gem 'selenium-devtools', '= 0.139.0'# frozen_string_literal: true
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'ffi', '~> 1.15', '>= 1.15.5' if Gem.win_platform? # Windows only
gem 'rake', '~> 13.0'
gem 'rspec', '~> 3.0'
gem 'rubocop', '~> 1.35'
gem 'rubocop-rspec', '~> 3.0'
gem 'selenium-devtools', '= 0.139.0'
gem 'selenium-webdriver', '= 4.35.0'
You can find the minimum required version of Node for any given version of Selenium in the Node Support Policy section on npmjs
Selenium is typically installed using npm.
Install locallynpm install selenium-webdriver
In your project’s package.json, add requirement to dependencies:
{
"name": "javascript-examples",
"version": "1.0.0",
"scripts": {
"test": "npx mocha test/**/*.spec.js --timeout 120000 --parallel --retries 2"
},
"author": "The Selenium project",
"license": "Apache-2.0",
"dependencies": {
"assert": "2.1.0",
"selenium-webdriver": "4.35.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"mocha": "11.7.1"
}
}
Use the Java bindings for Kotlin.
