Selenoid is a powerful Golang implementation of original Selenium hub code. It is using Docker to launch browsers, so you need to install Docker before we start.

Get Docker Mac installer here:

https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-mac/

Install it as the ordinary Mac app and run it.

Next steps we will install Selenoid. It is really simple to install it on MacOS.

To download and install it on MacOS you need to use terminal command:

curl -s https://aerokube.com/cm/bash | bash && ./cm selenoid start — vnc

After installation, you need to run Selenoid using the next command:

./cm selenoid start — vnc

To run GUI run the next command:

./cm selenoid-ui start

Now you can access your Selenoid GUI that’s available on

http://localhost:8080/

You all set, now you can connect your framework to Selenium Hub by the next URL:

localhost:4444/wd/hub
