2. Go through the installation wizard and select default options
   - In ports section of installer it might ask you for Firewall permission where you click on Allow button (which will validate your port setting)

*If you get an error to login as admin user, then do the following and try to login again: Open command prompt, navigate to mongodb bin folder where RedwoodHQ is installed on (eg: c:\Program Files\RedwoodHQ\vendor\MongoDB\bin), run the following command: mongo ..\..\..\dbscripts\scripts.txt

Execute

!Running Execution for the very first time will take a little bit of time for ‘Starting Execution’ process, all runs afterwards will begin fast!

1. Under ‘All Executions’ click on ‘Amazon Shopping’ link
2. Expand ‘Set Variables’ by clicking on little triangle button next to name
3. For ‘Browser’ under ‘Set Variables’ select the browser you want to run the test cases against by clicking on the Value field for it (which should have ‘Firefox’ by default) and click on drop down arrow to specify other browser if you want (Internet Explorer or Chrome)
4. Under ‘Select Machines’ check the checkbox for ’127.0.0.1’ (agent was installed with RedwoodHQ server)
5. Under ‘Test Cases’ check the checkbox for test case ‘Add Star Trek to Cart’
6. Click on ‘Run Selected Execution’ green arrow button on top (it might take a little bit of time to do initial run since it will be first time when all the scripts will compile)
7. Test case will now run and then when it’s done the test case will have status of ‘Finished’ with result ‘Passed’

!If test case has failed then try: 1. Re-run the test again because Amazon website could be introducing roll-out of a new feature which impacted current automation run, and if it still doesn’t work 2. You might need to update Selenium or Firefox Geckodriver/Chrome driver, please follow the instructions here.
