Installation
After downloading the Selenium-RC zip file from the downloads page, you’ll notice it has several subfolders.
These folders have all the components you need for using Selenium-RC with the programming language of your choice.
Once you’ve chosen a language to work with, you simply need to:
• Install the Selenium-RC Server.
• Set up a programming project using a language specific client driver.

=> Installing Selenium Server
The Selenium-RC server is simply a Java jar file (selenium-server.jar), which doesn’t require any special installation. Just downloading the zip file and extracting the server in the desired directory is suffiient.
=> Running Selenium Server
Before starting any tests you must start the server. Go to the directory where Selenium-RC’s server is located and run the following from a command-line console.
java -jar selenium-server.jar
This can be simplified by creating a batch or shell executable file (.bat on Windows and .sh on Linux) containing the command above. Then make a shortcut to that executable on your desktop and simply double-click the icon to start the server.
For the server to run you’ll need Java installed and the PATH environment variable correctly configured to run it from the console. You can check that you have Java correctly installed by running the following on a console:
java -version
If you get a version number (which needs to be 1.5 or later), you’re ready to start using Selenium-RC.
java -jar selenium-server.jar

=> Using the Java Client Driver
• Download Selenium-RC from the SeleniumHQ downloads page.
• Extract the file selenium-java-client-driver.jar.
• Open your desired Java IDE (Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, Netweaver, etc.)
• Create a new project.
• Add the selenium-java-client-driver.jar files to your project as references.
• Add to your project classpath the file selenium-java-client-driver.jar.
• From Selenium-IDE, export a script to a Java file and include it in your Java. project, or write
your Selenium test in Java using the selenium-java-client API. The API is presented later in this chapter. You can either use JUnit, or TestNg to run your test, or you can write your own simple main() program. These concepts are explained later in this section.
• Run Selenium server from the console.
• Execute your test from the Java IDE or from the command-line.
For details on Java test project configuration, see the Appendix sections Configuring Selenium-RC With Eclipse and Configuring Selenium-RC With Intellij.
• Extract the file selenium-java-client-driver.jar.
• Open your desired Java IDE (Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, Netweaver, etc.)
• Create a new project.
• Add the selenium-java-client-driver.jar files to your project as references.

=> Using the Python Client Driver
• Download Selenium-RC from the SeleniumHQ downloads page
• Extract the file selenium.py
• Either write your Selenium test in Python or export a script from Selenium-IDE to a python file.
• Add to your test’s path the file selenium.py
• Run Selenium server from the console
• Execute your test from a console or your Python IDE
For details on Python client driver configuration, see the appendix Python Client Driver Configuration.
• Extract the file selenium.py
• Either write your Selenium test in Python or export a script from Selenium-IDE to a python file.
• Add to your test’s path the file selenium.py
• Run Selenium server from the console
• Execute your test from a console or your Python IDE
For details on Python client driver configuration, see the appendix Python Client Driver Configuration.
=> Using the .NET Client Driver
• Download Selenium-RC from the SeleniumHQ downloads page
• Extract the folder
• Download and install NUnit ( Note: You can use NUnit as your test engine. If you’re not familiar yet with NUnit, you can also write a simple main() function to run your tests; however NUnit is very useful as a test engine.)
• Open your desired .Net IDE (Visual Studio, SharpDevelop, MonoDevelop)
• Create a class library (.dll)
• Add references to the following DLLs: nmock.dll, nunit.core.dll, nunit. framework.dll,
ThoughtWorks.Selenium.Core.dll, ThoughtWorks.Selenium. IntegrationTests.dll and Thought-Works.Selenium.UnitTests.dll
• Write your Selenium test in a .Net language (C#, VB.Net), or export a script from Selenium-IDE to a C# file and copy this code into the class file you just created.
• Write your own simple main() program or you can include NUnit in your project for running your test. These concepts are explained later in this chapter.
• Run Selenium server from console
• Run your test either from the IDE, from the NUnit GUI or from the command line
For specific details on .NET client driver configuration with Visual Studio, see the appendix .NET client driver configuration.
