When I try to use Selenium with python to open a Chrome browser, windows gives me a FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2]

Question

Here is my code:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")

Then in windows PowerShell I get:

PS C:\Users\userName\PycharmProjects\untitled> python .\s_Chrome.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.49.2-py3.5.egg\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 62,
in start
stdout=self.log_file, stderr=self.log_file)

ss.py", line 1220, in _execute_child
startupinfo)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Do I need to add something to PATH?
