3. Add geckodriver to your system path
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/downloaded/geckodriver
If you encounter issues with the above commands, then you should run them as root

2. Move the downloaded executable to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310
The numbers on the directory 'Python310' will depend on the version of Python you have
