We can download Selenium RC by downloading the Java jar file − selenium−server−standalone.jar. We have to download and extract the zip file to do the actual installation.
Using the Java Client Driver, the installation can be done by the below steps −
To run the Selenium RC server, Java should be installed properly and the path of the environment variable correctly set. To check if Java is installed run the command −
java −version
Navigate to the link: https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/ and download the Selenium java client driver zip file.
Then the selenium−java jar file is to be extracted.
Open an IDE say, Eclipse.
Create a Java project.
Associate the selenium−java jar files to the project.
Add the classpath of the selenium−java jar to the project.
Export a script to a Java file from the Selenium IDE and add it to the Java project.
Run the Selenium server with the command −
java −jar selenium−server−standalone−<version−number>.jar
Run the test from the Java IDE or from the command line.
