# geckodriver
Proxy for using W3C [WebDriver] compatible clients to interact with
Gecko-based browsers.
This program provides the HTTP API described by the [WebDriver
protocol] to communicate with Gecko browsers, such as Firefox. It
translates calls into the [Marionette remote protocol] by acting
as a proxy between the local- and remote ends.
## Installation
Geckodriver can be installed through various distribution channels:
* You can download pre-built binaries for the most common platforms from our [Releases] page on GitHub.
* Alternatively, you can compile it yourself by using:
* `cargo install geckodriver`, or
* Checking out the `release` branch or a specific tag.
For a detailed list of changes included in each release, please refer to the [change log].
