title: how to install geckodriver on a windows system
body: <p>I am trying to intall webdriver and in order to open firefox i need the geckodriver to be installed and in the correct path.</p>
  
  <p>Firstly the download link to install geckodriver only allows you to install a file that is not an executable. So is there a way to make it an executable?</p>
  
  <p>secondly I have tried to change my path variables in commmand prompt, but of course it didn't work. I then changed the user variable not the system path variables because there is not Path in system. there is a Path in user variables so I edited that to change where the file is located. </p>
  
  <p>I have extracted the geckodriver rar file and have received a file with no extension. I don't know how you can have a file with no extension, but they did it. The icon is like a blank sheet of paper with a fold at the top left. </p>
  
  <p>If anyone has a solution for this including maybe another package that is like webdriver and will allow me to open a browser and then refresh the page after a given amount of time. this is all I want to do.</p>
