2.Go to google.co.in and type Selenium IDE and press enter
3.Select the Downloads url from search results
4.Click on the latest version of selenium IDE

When downloading from Firefox, you’ll be presented with the following window.






Select Install Now. The Firefox Add-ons window pops up, first showing a progress bar, and when the download is complete, displays the following.




Restart Firefox. After Firefox reboots you will find the Selenium-IDE listed under the Firefox Tools menu.

Configure the Olat Map file
We'll go into details about how the Olat Map file works later. Here's how to configure it in Selenium IDE
• Go to Options>Options...

Setting for the Olat Map file in Selenium IDE
• Configure the user-extensions.js file with one of the following paths:
o Copy the nightly generated user-extensions.js from http://nightly.olat.uzh.ch/nightly/raw/doc/user-extensions.js to a local file and configure that local file. Make sure to repeat this often to catch changes in the olat-ui-map!!!
o if you're doing modifications on the map file (see later), build it yourself and configure it, e.g.: C:\eclipse\workspace\seleniumtests\build\classes\user-extensions.js
• Enable 'Remmber base URL'
• Enable 'Record assertTitle automatically'
• Enable 'Record absolute URL'
• Enable 'Enable UI-Element' (important!)
• Restart Selenium IDE (not the whole browser, just Selenium IDE. Activates the UI-Elements)
