I am using a headless ubuntu, and want to install latest geckodriver.So I must install by entering a command line.my ubuntu is 14.04 trusty.
But, I don't know the command to install geckodriver.https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/
and here are many versions of geckodriver. https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releasesI guess I have to download linux32.tar.gz one.
Do I have to include the url of github to write a installing command line?

You can install geckodriver by a single command in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install firefox-geckodriver
Other distributions may need another approach.
Run these the commands:
wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.18.0/geckodriver-v0.18.0-linux64.tar.gz(You can find the download URL to the latest release of geckodriver on Github.)
Extract the file with
tar -xvzf geckodriver*Make it executable (note this shouldn't be necessary, unless the unzipped file doesn't have the execute bits set):
chmod +x geckodriverAdd the driver to your PATH in ~/.bashrc so other tools can find it:
export PATH=$PATH:/path-to-extracted-file/geckodrive
