  2. Install SeleniumBasic to control Chrome
  3. Download latest ChromeDriver for your Chrome version so Selenium can connect to Chrome for automation
    • Open Chrome and type in about::version into the URL bar. The very first line will tell you what Chrome version you have
    • https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
    • Extract “chromedriver_win32.zip” and move the extracted chromedriver.exe to: C:\Program Files\SeleniumBasic\chromedriver.exe
    • The chromedriver will need to be re-downloaded whenever Chrome updates
  4. Download the latest .exe of the Poster: https://git.zinchuk.xyz/yuriy/Freedomain_Social_Media_Poster/releases
    • When run, the poster will automatically create the folders and files it requires in the directory it's run from.

Uncaught Script Errors

Ive done my best to catch any possible errors that might pop up and write functionality to handle them. But there might be ones that I havent found yet. If an error happens it will pop up a message box that looks like this. If you get any errors like this please send me a screenshot so I can write a patch for the bug.
