Anaconda selenium and Chrome
- Download latest chromedriver
- Update Chrome itself
- In your code
from selenium import webdriver
driver_path = '/path to chromedriver.exe/'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)
driver.get('somewebsite')
The easiest would be to install chrome-driver via anaconda (especially when running on a machine where you don't have permissions to install chrome-driver from .deb package)
conda install -c conda-forge python-chromedriver-binary

The simplest solution is to install chromedriver as suggested by @bgodr:
conda install -c conda-forge python-chromedriver-binary
Then at the top of your code, add the following import statement to update your PATH variable appropriately:
import chromedriver_binary
