What is the ideal location to install selenium-webdriver to work with NodeJS + Selenium + Mocha (On Windows)

What is the ideal location to install selenium-webdriver to work with NodeJS + Selenium + Mocha (On Windows)

I have just started to explore NodeJS with Selenium. Moving forward I will be working with NodeJS + Selenium + Mocha

1. Installed node.js:

   C:\Users\AtechM_03>node -v
   v6.11.2
   

2. Installed npm:

   C:\Users\AtechM_03>npm -v
   3.10.10
   

3. Configured nodeclipse as per http://www.nodeclipse.org/updates/ and my Project structure looks like:

Now, I am not sure about the exact location to install selenium-webdriver

4. Installed selenium-webdriver at the default location (through command-line) as per (http://www.nodeclipse.org/updates/)

   C:\Users\AtechM_03>npm install selenium-webdriver
   C:\Users\AtechM_03
   `-- selenium-webdriver@3.5.0
     +-- jszip@3.1.3

5. Installed selenium-webdriver at the current project directory (through command-line) as per (https://dzone.com/articles/selenium-nodejs-and-mocha)

   C:\Users\AtechM_03\LearnAutmation\NodeProject>npm install selenium-webdriver
   NodeProject@0.1.0 C:\Users\AtechM_03\LearnAutmation\NodeProject
   `-- selenium-webdriver@3.5.0
     +-- jszip@3.1.4
     | +-- core-js@2.3.0
     | +-- es6-promise@3.0.2
     | +-- lie@3.1.1
     | | `-- immediate@3.0.6
     | +-- pako@1.0.6
     | `-- readable-stream@2.0.6
     |   +-- core-util-is@1.0.2
     |   +-- inherits@2.0.3
     |   +-- isarray@1.0.0
     |   +-- process-nextick-args@1.0.7
     |   +-- string_decoder@0.10.31
     |   `-- util-deprecate@1.0.2
     +-- rimraf@2.6.2
     | `-- glob@7.1.2
     |   +-- fs.realpath@1.0.0
     |   +-- inflight@1.0.6
     |   | `-- wrappy@1.0.2
     |   +-- minimatch@3.0.4
     |   | `-- brace-expansion@1.1.8
     |   |   +-- balanced-match@1.0.0
     |   |   `-- concat-map@0.0.1
     |   +-- once@1.4.0
     |   `-- path-is-absolute@1.0.1
     +-- tmp@0.0.30
     | `-- os-tmpdir@1.0.2
     `-- xml2js@0.4.19
       +-- sax@1.2.4
       `-- xmlbuilder@9.0.4

6. Wrote my first program through NodeJS-Selenium as first_test.js and it executes well.

Code:

    var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

    var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
       withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome()).
       build();

    driver.get('http://www.google.com');
    driver.findElement(webdriver.By.name('q')).sendKeys('simple programmer');
    driver.findElement(webdriver.By.name('q')).submit();
    driver.quit();

Execution :

    C:\Users\AtechM_03\LearnAutmation\NodeProject\Selenium>node first_test.js
    C:\Users\AtechM_03\LearnAutmation\NodeProject\Selenium>

My Question :

• How can I know from which location of selenium-webdriver is Testcase getting executed?
• How can I remove/uninstall the additional selenium-webdriver installation completely?
• How can I generate some granular trace level logs to know whats happening within?

While with Selenium-Java binding I add the jars at project level where as with Selenium-Python binding PyDev module binded the Python Home to Eclipse by default.

Any suggestions/pointers will be helpful.
