How To Fix Error Message: 'chromedriver.exe' Executable May Have Wrong Permissions

I'm installing webdriver of selenium. However I get a following error : PermissionError Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-pa

Solution 1:

It might be because of platform and chromedriver format mismatch. For example windows requires chromedriver.exe while there are different formats for linux and mac. If you don't want to install through package manager, just download chromedriver from sites. https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

If still you get error then Goto /usr/bin directory and you would need to run something like chmod a+x chromedriver to mark it executable.
