2. Install java 1.8 or later and set path & class path in windows os.
3. Download suitable chromedriver.exe from https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

5. Write FirstTestCase.java class with the code shown in below.
6. Run as "Java Applicaiton".

In the java class, ensure to have the following : 
1)  System set property  -  using this call the chromedriver.exe
2)  Declaring driver - driver declaration
