How can I install firefox web driver to work with selenium\python

I installed it with the command

pip install selenium

I tried this code:

driver=webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
content=driver.find_element_by_id("lga")
print(content)

But it gives me this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Acer\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-package
s\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 76, in start

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

A few things to check out.

1) you need to make sure you have install Firefox.
2) Get the latest gecko driver here
3) Set path in your environment

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory/of/executable/geckodriver<br>

4) If you intend to skip 3 , you need to amend this in the your script

from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\Firefox\Firefox.exe')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)

    It didn't work for me even that I did the webdriver to the path in the enviroment but this line of code solved it : driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\webdriver\geckodriver.exe') anyway thank you for your help – ali filali Nov 05 '19 at 18:25
