selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable must be in PATH.

Most importantly, you may download the most recent executable geckodriver from here to run the most recent firefox utilizing selenium

All things considered, The selenium customer ties attempt and discover the geckodriver executable from the framework PATH. You will add the registry containing the executable to the framework path.

On UNIX systems you'll do the accompanying to add it to your framework's pursuit path in case you're utilizing a slam viable shell:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory/of/executable/downloaded/in/previous/step

On Windows, you may update the path system variable to feature the full directory path to the executable geckodriver manually or by using the command-line interface(don't forget to restart your system after adding executable geckodriver into system PATH). The principle is the same as on Unix.

Now you'll run your code same as you are doing as below:-

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Expected browser binary location, but unable to find binary in the default location, no 'moz:firefoxOptions.binary' capability provided, and no binary flag set on the command line

Exception clearly states you have installed firefox some other location whereas selenium is attempting to {find|to seek out|to search out} firefox and launch from default location but it could not find. You need to provide explicitly firefox installed binary location to launch firefox as below:-

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

binary = FirefoxBinary('path/to/installed firefox binary')

browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)
