How can I install selenium by using the conda?
I am a data scientist and I am currently working on a machine learning project in which I need to scrape the data from a dynamic website for model training. For this objective, I have decided to use Selenium for web scraping and I want to install it by using Conda. How can I install selenium by using the conda?
In the context of selenium, you can install selenium by using the conda by using the following command in your terminal or even command prompt:
Conda install -c conda-forge Selenium
This particular command would tell the conda to install the selenium package from the conda-forge channel. The conda forge is a commonly community-driven collection of conda packages and it is a very popular choice to install packages that are not available in the default conda channels.
Here is the more detailed example given below:-
From selenium import webdriver
From selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
# Initialize the WebDriver instance (assuming Chrome WebDriver)
Driver = webdriver.Chrome()
Try:
# Navigate to a webpage
Driver.get(https://www.example.com)
# Find an element by ID and interact with it
Search_box = driver.find_element_by_id(“searchBox”)
Search_box.send_keys(“Selenium WebDriver”)
Search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
# Wait for the results page to load
Driver.implicitly_wait(10)
# Get the page title and print it
Page_title = driver.title
Print(“Page Title:”, page_title)
Except Exception as e:
Print(“Error:”, str€)
Finally:
# Close the WebDriver instance
Driver.quit()
