This document provides a comprehensive checklist for installing Selenium WebDriver on both Windows and Mac systems, detailing steps for installing Java, Maven, and IntelliJ, and verifying that installations are successful through sample tests. It includes links to video guides, GitHub repositories for sample projects, and necessary downloads such as ChromeDriver and GeckoDriver. The checklist emphasizes maintaining up-to-date versions of software components and provides instructions for executing tests through an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
![Install Sample WebDriver Project on Windows
[ ] Download Test Project (this has a simple pom.xml and a
basic test to run)
[ ] visit
https://github.com/eviltester/startUsingSeleniumWebDriver
[ ] download the zip file and unzip somewhere
[ ] Install and run IntelliJ Community Edition
[ ] open project for the unzipped pom.xml file](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/checklisthowtoinstallfirefoxdriverandchromedriverwindowsandmac-161004141818/85/Checklist-How-to-Install-Firefox-GeckoDriver-and-Chromedriver-on-Windows-and-Mac-for-Selenium-WebDriver-with-Java-4-320.jpg)
![[ ] check most up to date version of webdriver in the
unzipped pom.xml file
[ ] check the webdriver downloads page or the
maven page for the up to date version
[ ] amend the pom.xml file if the version number is
not up to date
[ ] exit IntelliJ](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/checklisthowtoinstallfirefoxdriverandchromedriverwindowsandmac-161004141818/85/Checklist-How-to-Install-Firefox-GeckoDriver-and-Chromedriver-on-Windows-and-Mac-for-Selenium-WebDriver-with-Java-5-320.jpg)

![Run Test From IDE on Windows
[ ] Back in IntelliJ
[ ] run MyFirstTest, or MyFirstTestFF48 or
MyFirstChromeTest class
[ ] right click on the class in the project window and
select "Run
[ ] When the test runs from the IDE, you are finished your
install and setup](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/checklisthowtoinstallfirefoxdriverandchromedriverwindowsandmac-161004141818/85/Checklist-How-to-Install-Firefox-GeckoDriver-and-Chromedriver-on-Windows-and-Mac-for-Selenium-WebDriver-with-Java-8-320.jpg)
