Selenium RC - Installation Procedure

Step by Step process for Selenium RC Installation:-

1) Install Java:

Selenium RC requires us to install JDK in machine. Download JDK and Install it.

Set or change the PATH system variable.

For Windows XP:

Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced

Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it.

In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If

you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the

name and the location of the class as the value.

(Example: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin;) Refer Screenshot.

Close the window.

For Windows Vista:

Right click “My Computer” icon

Choose “Properties” from context menu

Click “Advanced” tab (“Advanced system settings” link in Vista)

In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If

you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the

name and the location of the class as the value.

Close the window.
