Steps:

pip3 install helium
# or
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Create a python file and paste the following code.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from helium import start_firefox

def main():
    driver = start_firefox()
    driver.execute_script("window.alert('Hello World')")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Here I’m using Firefox but it is easy to switch to Chrome.
