Hello Tom's Hardware Folks,

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum for this but I'm having trouble locating the information I need and I thought some of you may be able to help.

I'm trying to install Selenium on my MacBook Pro so I can begin learning the tool for the purposes of career development (I currently work in Software QA but my skill-set is purely manual testing at this point). I believe that I can find adequate tutorials to get started once I have Selenium installed on my machine, but I'm having a heck of a time even finding clear instructions to get that done. Everything I find is either for Windows 7, really outdated information, or really advanced and extremely confusing. I don't have a Windows 7 machine at home otherwise I'd just use that so I'm a bit stuck.

I have a 15" MacBook Pro (2009) that's running Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), as well as the Eclipse EE IDE (Mars Release 4.5.0). I'm looking to run Selenium primarily in Chrome and Firefox. I'm an incredible newb at this point surrounding all most things Selenium so any help is much appreciated. If anyone has any (very) basic step-by-step instructions they could provide on how to get Selenium installed and running or any (up-to-date) links to tutorials that do a good job of covering that, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

So as I try the steps in this tutorial, I get to the section titled "Download & Install Selenium Java Server" and the snippets of code for the Terminal keep producing "-bash: wget: command not found". Am I just missing something? Thanks
