How to install selenoid on Windows?

Question

I don't understand how can I install selenoid on Windows 10. I'm using this tutorial:

https://github.com/aerokube/selenoid/blob/master/docs/selenoid-without-docker.adoc

I've downloaded last version of selenoid (v1.7.1) for Windows here

https://github.com/aerokube/cm/releases/tag/1.7.1
cm_windows_amd64.exe

I've dovnloaded chromedriver.eve (v 77) I've created browsers.json configuration file:

{
  "chrome": {
    "default": "77",
    "versions": {
      "77": {
        "image": ["C:\\Users\\AnastasiiaBondarenko\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe", "--log-level=DEBUG"]
      }
    }
  }
}

I've put next command into PowerShell:

./selenoid_windows_amd64.exe -conf ./browsers.json -disable-docker

When I'm trying now to open selenoid hub page it shows me 404 error:

I expected to see smth like this:

1) This 404 error comes from Selenoid, meaning there is no such API / in Selenium protocol. In the next release opening / will be showing Selenoid version (as this behavior is frequently confusing new users).

2) On Windows with installed Docker you don't have to create configuration files manually. Just download CM binary and run it as follows:

> cm selenoid start

This command will download and generate the rest.

Dear Vania, As I understand "cm" in my case will be "./selenoid_windows_amd64.exe" So, when I'm trying to run this: ` ./selenoid_windows_amd64.exe selenoid start` It gives me an error: `[C:\Users\AnastasiiaBondarenko\Downloads\selenoid_windows_amd64.exe: browsers config: read error: open config/browsers.json: The system cannot find the path specified.]` – Anastazja Bondarenko Oct 16 '19 at 07:39

Download latest Selenoid binary from

https://github.com/aerokube/selenoid/releases

Download some IEDriverServer archive from

http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

and unpack it to some directory (i.e on C disk)

Create browsers.json configuration file in the folder with name config:

{
      "internet explorer": {
      "default": "11",
       "versions": {
       "11": {
       "image": ["C:\\IEDriverServer.exe"]
        }
       }
      }
     }

From command line execude command :

selenoid_windows_amd64.exe -conf config/browsers.json -disable-docker

Don't forget to add some changes in your code see :

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
          capabilities.setBrowserName("internet explorer");
          capabilities.setVersion("11");

          driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
            URI.create("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub").toURL(),
            capabilities
        );
