## Installing on Windows 7 & 10:

The following are the best ways to install ChromeDriver on Windows so you can run Selenium:

- The easiest way to install ChromeDriver is to use a package manager such as Chocolatey. You should really have a package manager if you don’t now:
  1. Install [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/docs/installation?ref=kenst.com). I used the[ cmd.exe method](https://chocolatey.org/docs/installation?ref=kenst.com#install-with-cmdexe) and it worked really quickly.
  2. Install ChromeDriver `choco install chromedriver`
  3. Confirm it was installed by typing `chromedriver —version` into your command line and seeing that it returns a version number. If it errors, ChromeDriver wasn’t installed.
- Or run Chrome & ChromeDriver in a [container such as Docker](https://www.kenst.com/how-to-run-your-selenium-tests-headlessly-in-docker/). Simply [download the combined container](https://hub.docker.com/u/selenium/?ref=kenst.com), start it and point your code at the right address. [Here’s an example](https://www.kenst.com/how-to-run-your-selenium-tests-headlessly-in-docker/).
