Installing a selenium grid
Here are detailed, step by step instructions, on the process of installing Selenium Grid
Step 1: Verify That JDK 1.5 is Installed
- The appropriate JDK should be installed and should be available out-of-the-box. You can double-check this by openning a terminal window and running the following command
- java -version
- The command output should indicate that a 1.5 version of the JDK is available. If not, install it in your machine.
Step 2: Install Ant 1.7
- Check that you have the right Ant version (1.7) by running in a terminal:
- ant -version
- If it does not returns the appropriate version then install Ant as given in Step 2A.
- Step 2a: Installing Ant 1.7
- Download Ant version 1.7 from http://mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.7.1-bin.zip
- Once it has been downloaded, unzip the file in a directory on your local system.
- You then need to modify your
PATHso that your system picks up the right Ant launcher. Just go to a Terminal window and: - Verify and update user path so that the freshly installed Ant version 1.7 is first in your path
Step 3: Installing Selenium Grid
- Download the latest version of Selenium Grid from http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/download.html
- Unzip the file into a directory. We will refer to the directory where Selenium Grid is installed as “Selenium Grid Home”.
- Verify the Selenium Grid install: from the terminal window go to the Selenium Grid home directory and run: ant sanity-check
- If the build is successful, you are all set!
- Congratulations, it now time to put Selenium Grid to work
