This was a very helpful video but a couple of things were missed for people who have never installed Ruby or Selenium on their computers before. (Like me, today :)

1. Gem FFI is needed for windows machines (install gem FFI)
2. Geckodriver needs to be installed for selenium to run Firefox (chromedriver is needed for Chrome)
3. To get geckodriver to work you need to set up a path in your system variables
4. Also, depending on the version of geckodriver (I used v0.26.0) you may need to install Microsoft visual studio redistributable runtime files

But the good news is the rest of the tutorial was perfect and I got everything working! Thanks again for the video!
