xattr question

Yes, I know all about that and that's the reason I asked before I went threw with it. I had service pointing one folder short on the proper one. That was fixed and it ran.

As far as security im really thinking of moving to qubes. However the Mac makes it easy for me to do IT for a few people. I left Microsoft after XP, wasn't dealing with their **** anymore lol.

TY you guys, you have made my day easier, you guys have a clue why I was hesitant to go forward.

selenium, the chromedriver dled from brew is being blocked by the mac security thing. This code :

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/chromedriver 

I believe is the code I need to enter. However im worried that this may not be smart because the security warnings. or if you guys have a better way to go im all ears. Also im sorry about the misquote:

➜  ~ brew info chromedriver
==> chromedriver: 118.0.5993.70
https://chromedriver.chromium.org/
/usr/local/Caskroom/chromedriver/118.0.5993.70 (2 files, 16.4MB)

not

➜ ~ which chromedriver

/usr/local/bin/chromedriver

listen this is asking for some stuff that could compromise me. I would only like the risks, and what to do. I haven't hit enter to continue the process yet.

simple I want to use selenium and I have road block up because the OS

thanks, good to know, ty. Do you have a suggestion for understand the terminal within Mac. It's a lot like linux but it's different. The security issues are so aggravating, im like walking on egg shells. I switched over to Mac after XP was discontinued. fyi python is to get me more comfortable with it. so I know how to automate tasks of any sort

here is a question that I have no clue why its spitting out this. Im trying get the location of chromedriver. I typed in

 which chromedriver

That is supposed to give the location of the prg,

➜  ~ which chromedriver
/usr/local/bin/chromedriver
➜  bin which -a chromedriver
/usr/local/bin/chromedriver

however when I go in there, that file isn't there.

➜  /usr cd local
➜  local cd bin
➜  bin cd chromedriver
cd: not a directory: chromedriver
➜  bin pwd
/usr/local/bin

am I doing something wrong? as you saw the chromedriver I downloaded was threw brew

➜  ~ brew info chromedriver
==> chromedriver: 118.0.5993.70
https://chromedriver.chromium.org/
/usr/local/Caskroom/chromedriver/118.0.5993.70 (2 files, 16.4MB)

Im sorry to keep asking questions, this doesn't look correct. If it isn't what do I do lol. basically of what you said, I am not expecting anything. im confused because of the area its claiming is not a true statement, never was. TY etresoft, I truly value you words.

NVM, im having issues with my code, This is working

from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager


url = "https://automated.pythonanywhere.com"

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)

driver = Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()),
options=chrome_options)

driver.get(url)
driver.maximize_window()

Ty for all your help, I truly appreciate it. Simply im going to have to figure out the correct way to run this with functional programing because it's not working lol.
