# Automation_Scripts
## Refresh URL with Selenium
This Python script uses Selenium to open a YouTube URL in a Chrome browser, waits for 10 seconds, and then refreshes the page. It can be adapted for any website by changing the `url` variable.
## Prerequisites
Before running the script, ensure you have the following installed:
- **Python** (Version 3.x)
- **Selenium** library
- **webdriver-manager** library
## Installation
1. **Clone or download the repository**:
```
git clone https://github.com/stephenombuya/Automation_Scripts.git
cd Automation.py
```
2. **Install the required Python packages**:
Use pip to install Selenium and webdriver-manager.
```
pip install selenium
```
```
pip install webdriver-manager
```
3. **Install Chrome browser**:
Ensure that Google Chrome is installed on your system, as this script uses Chrome as the browser.
## Usage
1. **Run the script**:
To run the script, execute the following command in your terminal:
```
python Automation.py
```
2. **What the script does**:
The script opens the YouTube homepage in a Chrome browser.
It waits for 10 seconds before refreshing the page.
3. **Modify the URL**:
To open a different URL, simply change the value of the `url` variable in the script:
```
url = "https://www.example.com/"
```
## Troubleshooting
* Ensure Chrome is installed and up-to-date.
* If ChromeDriver installation fails, manually download the appropriate version for your Chrome from ChromeDriver.
