Easy installation and use of geckodriver, that provides the HTTP API described by the WebDriver protocol to communicate with Gecko browsers, such as Firefox.
geckodriver-helper installs an executable, geckodriver, in your
gem path.
This script will, if necessary, download the appropriate binary for
your platform and install it into ~/.geckodriver-helper, then exec
it.
If you're using Bundler and Capybara, it's as easy as:
# Gemfile
gem 'geckodriver-helper'
then, in your specs:
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox)
end
If you'd like to force-upgrade to the latest version of geckodriver,
run the script gecko_updater

The idea and some features comes from @flavorjones's project
chromedriver-helper. That saves setup time and works pretty good from the box.
