ImportError: cannot import name 'webdriver' from 'selenium' error using Selenium and WebDriver through Python

Question

I wanted to code a program with selenium, so I wanted to test it but:

from selenium import webdriver

When Im running this program, it says:

ImportError: cannot import name 'webdriver' from 'selenium'

Does this answer your question? [Selenium using Python - Geckodriver executable needs to be in PATH](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40208051/selenium-using-python-geckodriver-executable-needs-to-be-in-path) — Nemanja, Aug 16 '20 at 20:37

This error message...

ImportError: cannot import name 'webdriver' from 'selenium'

...implies that there was an ImportError when you tried to import webdriver from the selenium module.

Reason

This ImportError is observed when you try to execute the line:

from selenium import webdriver

without installing Selenium.

The very first step to use Selenium will be to install Selenium Python bindings using the following command:

pip install -U selenium

or upgrade Selenium Python bindings using the following command:

pip install -U selenium
