# another way is:
1. Download the lastest version of driver from:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/ # only 5-7MB
2. Unzip the file.
3. Paste the file in /usr/local/bin using this command:
sudo mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin # this makes sure that the directory is in your PATH variable.

>>browser = webdriver.Chrome()
