Most of you are might want to switch from manual testing to automation or starting a career in automation testing, here I am going to lay down few guidelines to install selenium/TestNG/Cucumber, on Windows as well as Mac OS

Setting up environment variables

Java
Go to system properties-> click on environment variables->click on Edit
Enter variable name as "Java_Home" and variable value as "path where your Java is installed"
(by default it will be in your c drive folder program files) copy the path and click OK.
repeat the same in system variable and user variable

Macintosh

Download java
In order to install selenium on you system check if Java is present in your system preferable(1.8) version
1. open Terminal
2. Type-> Java -version enter it will show youth version of java installed in your system


if java is not installed please download the above mentioned version of Java from  here (for Mac executable files are in .dmg format )


Installing eclipse
To download  and install eclipse for Mac use this link(dmg file)

Installing Maven
Download Maven from here on your system, click on "Binary tar.gz archive" link which is a compressed file extract(.dmg) and install maven


Setting up environment variables

Java

As the environment variable should be created in .bash file so we need to first check if .bash file is present in the directory.
To check. Go to Terminal and enter command->
ls -al(it will list all files and folders present if directory) 
To create a bash file  enter command touch .bash_file once bash file is created.  
Enter command Is -al (It will show .bash file created)


To open .bash profile in edit mode Go to Terminal and enter command-> 
open -e .bash_profile  a new window of ".bash profile" would open,  copy and paste the below statement export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home) and save the .bash profile





Go to Terminal and enter command echo $JAVA_HOME It will give you the current path of java

You can also run this command to load .bash profile in source Source .bash_profile




Maven

As we have created .bash profile . Open the .bash profile be entering the command in terminal
open -e .bash_profile now copy and paste  export M2_HOME=(Path of your Maven) 
To get Path of maven  enter mvn -version in terminal
You will get path of Maven home copy the path place it as like below command, as in my case it is 
   export M2_HOME=/users/priyankac/apach-maven=3.6.3 and also paste 
    export=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin. and save the file

 After the .bash file is updated with path of Java an Maven it would look like this






Downloading Maven in eclipse

Maven

Once you are able to open eclipse  go to help->Eclipse marketplace-> search for m2e-> "maven integration" for eclipse  and install.



Give yourself a pat on your back you are done installing Maven to your Mac system
