This puts `geckodriver` or `geckodriver.exe` into root of this module.

## Install

```
npm install geckodriver
```

## Usage

There are several ways to use this module:

### Use the provided `geckodriver` from `bin` directory.

```
bin/geckodriver [args]
```

### Use it by requiring:

```
require('geckodriver');
```

### Use it by setting WebDriver capabilities:

```
profile.setPreference('marionette', true);
// Add log level if needed:
// profile.setPreference('marionette.logging', 'TRACE');
```

### Use it globally:

```
npm install -g geckodriver
geckodriver [args]
```

Note: This installs a `geckodriver` shell script that runs the executable, but on Windows, selenium-webdriver looks for `geckodriver.exe`. To use a global installation of this package with selenium-webdriver on Windows, copy or link `geckodriver.exe` to a location on your PATH (such as the NPM bin directory) after installing this package:

```
mklink %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\geckodriver.exe %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\geckodriver\geckodriver.exe
```

## Setting a CDN URL for binary download

To set an alternate CDN location for geckodriver binaries, set the `GECKODRIVER_CDNURL` like this:

```
GECKODRIVER_CDNURL=https://INTERNAL_CDN/geckodriver/download
```

Binaries on your CDN should be located in a subdirectory of the above base URL. For example, `/vxx.xx.xx/*.tar.gz` should be located under `/geckodriver/download` above.

Alternatively, you can add the same property to your `.npmrc` file.

Default location is set to https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download

## Setting a PROXY URL

Use `HTTPS_PROXY` or `HTTP_PROXY` to set your proxy url.

## Setting a specific version

Use `GECKODRIVER_VERSION` if you require a specific version of gecko driver for your browser version.

## Using a cached download

Use `GECKODRIVER_FILEPATH` to point to a pre-downloaded geckodriver archive that should be extracted during installation.

## Skipping geckodriver download

Use `GECKODRIVER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD` to skip the download of the geckodriver file.
