Installs GeckoDriver executable with pip or setup.py.

Clone the repository:

(e)$ git clone https://github.com/tausten/geckodriver_installer.git

Install the most recent GeckoDriver version

(e)$ python setup.py install

Install specific GeckoDriver version

(e)$ python setup.py install --geckodriver-version=0.21.0

After install, there should be the geckodriver executable available in your path:

(e)$ which geckodriver
/home/andypipkin/e/bin/geckodriver
(e)$ geckodriver --version
geckodriver 0.21.0
(e)$ geckodriver
1532996000606   geckodriver     INFO    geckodriver 0.21.0
1532996000617   geckodriver     INFO    Listening on 127.0.0.1:4444

The same as before except you need to pass the install options wrapped in pip's --install-option="" option.

(e)$ pip install geckodriver_installer --install-option="--geckodriver-version=0.21.0"

I can't seem to find a way to make easy_install pass user options to setup.py so you only can install the most recent GeckoDriver version with easy_install.

The build_scripts command of the setup.py script invoked by python setup.py install downloads, the GeckoDriver zip archive version specified in the --geckodriver-version option from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases to the temp directory of the operating system. The archive will be unzipped to the build directory and installed as an executable to the bin directory.

If the --geckodriver-version option is ommited, it installs the most recent geckodriver version.

You need tox to run the tests.

(e)$ git clone https://github.com/tausten/geckodriver_installer.git
(e)$ tox
