selenium - chromedriver executable needs to be in PATH
<p><strong>Error message:</strong> </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I was trying to code a script using selenium in pycharm, however the error above occured. <a href="https://gyazo.com/b5622e3165bbfd93cfa205178df79b6f" rel="noreferrer">I have already linked my selenium to pycharm as seen here (fresh and up to date)</a>.</p>

<p>I am new to selenium, isn't chromedriver in the folder "selenium."
If it isn't, where can I find it and add it to the path?</p>

<p>By the way, I tried typing "chromedriver" in cmd, however, it wasn't recognized as an internal or external command.</p>

<p>error shown below:</p>
