Selenium Installation with Python Bindings for Windows

Installing Selenium IDE:

1) Please refer http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/ - it's straight forward.

Selenium Client & Web-driver Python Bindings:

1) Install Python 2.7 using the MSI available in the following link:
http://www.python.org/getit/

2) Download Python bindings for Selenium from below:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium

3) Copy selenium folder from "C:\Users\Dell\Downloads\selenium-2.33.0\py"
to "C:\Python27\Lib"

4) Create a folder named "C:\seltests" and download virtualenv.py script into that folder.
Script is here: https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py 

5) Start command prompt and enter the following command:
cd C:\seltests
C:\seltests\virtualenv.py selenv

You'll get a message saying " installing setup tools & pip is done".
A folder named C:\seltests\selenv will get created containing virtual python

6) Start command prompt and enter the following command:
C:\seltests\selenv\Scripts\pip.exe install selenium

 

Selenium Server:

1) Download selenium Server: looks like - "selenium-server-standalone-2.33.0"
http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/

You can refer for installation help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-zzrqQoSE

3) Start Command Prompt and enter the following command:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.33.0.jar

Replace 2.33.0 with the version you have.

 

Test your installation:

1) Run your test script using virtual python.
For example, if you have created a Selenium based script and saved it inside C:\seltests\test_script.py,
you can run it like this from command prompt.

C:\seltests\test_script.py
