How do I download Selenium RC?

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.
