I'm a total beginner to Python and I'm trying to use Selenium
I installed Selenium using this video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vsswJooDe0. I was able to follow the tutorial up to 11 min 10 seconds. I tried saving the script in multiple locations, including in the paths that were added when installing Selenium.
This is the script I am trying to run
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("www.google.com")
This is the error that is showing up
RESTART: C:/Users/cindy/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python36-32/sample.py

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH.
Can someone tell me what I've done wrong and how to fix this? Thanks!
