Setting up Selenium with Java requires following a few steps.

 Here is a step-by-step guide to assist you in getting started

 Step 1: Install Java Development Kit (JDK)

Ensure you have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your computer. You can download the latest JDK from the official Oracle website or use OpenJDK, an open-source alternative.

Step 2: Setting up Java Environment Variables

To set up the Java environment variables, you need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the directory where you installed the JDK. Additionally, you should add the bin directory to your system's PATH variable.

Step 3: Choosing and Configuring a Java IDE

To write Selenium scripts in Java, you need to choose a Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Popular options include Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and Visual Studio Code. Once you have selected your preferred IDE, download and install it.

Step 4: Downloading Selenium WebDriver

To interact with web browsers, you need to download the Selenium WebDriver Java bindings from the official Selenium website. This JAR file contains the necessary libraries.

Step 5: Setting Up a Java Project

Create a new Java project in your chosen IDE and add the Selenium WebDriver JAR file to your project's build path.

Step 6: Downloading Browser Drivers

To automate a browser, you need to download the corresponding browser driver executable. WebDriver requires these drivers to interact with browsers. For Chrome, you need ChromeDriver, for Firefox, you need GeckoDriver, and for Edge, you need Microsoft Edge Driver.

Step 7: Configuring WebDriver in Your Project

In your Selenium script, configure the WebDriver with the path to the downloaded browser driver executable. Here's an example for Chrome:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class MySeleniumTest {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       // Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable

       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver.exe");

       // Initialize the ChromeDriver

       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

       // Your Selenium script goes here

       // Close the browser

       driver.quit();

   }

}

Step 8: Writing Your First Selenium Script Write a basic Selenium script to launch a browser and visit a website. For instance:

Step 9: Run Your Selenium Script

Run your Selenium script in your IDE. It should open a Chrome browser, navigate to Google, and print the title of the page.
