ImportError: No module named selenium cronjob Mac

Question

I am trying to automate a python script to run every minute but can't seem to figure out why I get the error:

ImportError: No module named selenium

although:

pip freeze
...
selenium==3.4.2
...

and script runs in command line.

here's what I am doing:

* * * * * cd /Users/Saleh/Desktop/MMM && python READY.py

Error:

crontab: installing new crontab You have new mail in /var/mail/Saleh Mohameds-Air:~ Saleh$ mail Mail version 8.1 6/6/93. Type ? for help. "/var/mail/Saleh": 1 message 1 new

Path of python script is as below:

pls help, THANK YOU!

You have to have the path to to your selenium driver specified when running it as a cron. for example

export PATH=path/to/your/selenium/driver/folder:$PATH && cd /Users/Saleh/Desktop/MMM && python READY.py
