Answer 1

In Summary:

• Find your chrome version (Help-> About Google Chrome)
• Find your chromedriver version, if you already have one. (For me "chromedriver.exe -v" gave me the version on windows environment.)
• Visit the official chrome webdriver page (http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads)
• Download the chromedriver matching your chrome browser version, from the above download location.
• Have a glance at the release notes on this download page towards lower section of the page, which gives an clear idea regarding which driver to use for which version of browser.
• You can put the downloaded chromedriver binary in the path environment.

There you go. All the best!
