Hi Tim,

Please run the following command on the terminal:

pip install selenium==4.0.0.a7

Since the latest alpha release of Selenium 4 was Alpha 7 (4.0.0.a7)

However, you might face an error if you are using the latest Python 3.9.

Here, the installation of Selenium 4.0.0.a7 on Windows is dependent on MS C++ Build Tools. So, you need to upgrade the setuptools package by running the following command on the terminal:

pip install --upgrade setuptools

Then, install C++ Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019, post which install Selenium 4.0.0.a7 again.

Hope this helps!
