When I try to use the selenium:

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

​browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('https://automatetheboringstuff.com')

And it gives this error as below:

FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

     83                         os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message)

WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

Please what can I do to resolve this error? I never could get selenium to work. It seems to be impossible.
