when attempting to run a simple test on the selenium framework with a chrome browser using the Splinter library for Python, I encounter the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "chrome.py", line 3, in <module>

whereis chromedriver
chromedriver: /usr/bin/chromedriver /usr/bin/X11/chromedriver /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
Code I'm trying to run:
from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser('chrome')
I've looked everywhere but nothing on how to specify the specific path in Splinter. I tried applying some of the selenium examples but it did not work.
