| # How To Download the Microsoft Edge Driver | ||
|
|
||
| The installation and setup of the Edge driver for Microsoft's Edge browser involves the following steps: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. First, we need to check the current version of the Microsoft Edge browser. | ||
| To do so, open Edge and click on “Settings and More” (the three dots) in the top right corner or press alt + F. | ||
| Then, hover over “Help and Feedback ” in the settings menu and click on About Microsoft Edge. | ||
| On the About page, we can find the current browser version, as shown in the image below. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| 2. Next, we need to download the Edge driver for its setup and integration. | ||
| We can visit the official Microsoft Edge driver download page to download the Edge driver. | ||
| [Here is the link to download Edge Driver from Microsoft.](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/#downloads) | ||
| On this page, you can select the appropriate version based on your operating system and browser release version to download it. | ||
| Make sure to download the correct version according to the browser; otherwise, we may get a runtime error or some unexpected crash. | ||
|
|
||
| 3. Once the download is complete, a zip file gets saved. | ||
| We need to extract the downloaded zip file and store it in the desired location. | ||
| After extracting it, we can find the executable file – msedgedriver.exe file at the selected location as sown in the image below: | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| This executable file is our required application file for the Edge driver. | ||
| In the upcoming steps, we will use this executable file in our automation script to integrate the Edge driver with the Selenium framework. | ||
