Selenium RC (Remote Control)Before I talk about the details of Selenium RC, I would like to go a step back and talk about the first tool in the Selenium project. Selenium Core was the first tool. But, Selenium Core hit a roadblock in terms of cross- domain testing because of the same origin policy. How Do I Download Selenium ChromeDriver? Step 1: To download Selenium ChromeDriver, go to the official website of Selenium. Step 2: Now click on the Downloads tab on the top right side of the home page.

Selenium server is a Java program. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6 or newerversion is recommended to run Selenium server.
You can download Selenium server 2.x from the download page of selenium website. The file name should be something likethis: selenium-server-standalone-2.x.x.jar. You can always download thelatest 2.x version of Selenium server.
