1.Create new Java Project
2.Add the Webdriver Jar files to the created Project

5.Write the code in the Java class file and run it.

1. Create a new Java project

Goto File >> New >>Java Project
We will get a popup which will prompt us to provide the project name.
Give the project name say "ExploreWebDriver" then click on Finish button.

Right click on created project then goto
Build Path>>Configure Build Path >>Select Libraries tab>>Add External jars
Which will open a folder search prompt , goto the locations where you have downloaded WebDriver jar files and add them .Then click on "Ok" button
You need to add below jar files.If you don't have these files downloaded on your computer then you can download them from the below pages :
