I have downloaded the selenium-standalone-server.jar and the geckodriver.exe for my windows OS.

In order to start the server with geckodriver i have seen this command in Linux OS.

$ java -jar -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=./geckodriver selenium-server-standalone-3.5.3.jar

How do i do this on Windows?

To start the Selenium Server you don't need to pass GeckoDriver as a parameter and to start the Selenium Server in default configuration you can use the following line of command on Windows OS :

>java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.11.0.jar

Console Output :

  • Thank you very much! Is there a way to pass the Gecko parameter though? – user1584421 Apr 24 '18 at 10:44
  • IMO, We shouldn't configure the _Selenium Server_ or the _Selenium Grid Hub_ to be restricted only to a single _WebDriver_ variant. Having said that I am yet to work with _Selenium Server_ but with _Selenium Grid Hub_ it is a absolute **No**. Instead the _Selenium Server clients_ or _Selenium Grid Nodes_ must be configured with the _WebDriver_ variant. – undetected Selenium Apr 24 '18 at 10:46

use this : 

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-XX.XX.jar -port port_no

Hope this'll help you !

  • As of 3.8.1, specifying the driver is no longer necessary: for more reference you can follow this SO post : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28853634/how-to-run-a-selenium-server-standalone?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa – cruisepandey Apr 24 '18 at 11:21

java -jar -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=pathToGeckoDriver selenium-server-standalone-3.11.0.jar

Ex : pathToGeckoDriver=C:\Users\Selenium\geckodriver.exe
