Solution 1:[1]

You mention having Java installed, but you didn't mention whether Java was in your PATH environment variable. Add a JAVA_HOME environment variable and then add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to your PATH environment variable.

Solution 2:[2]

As It is clearly showing the usage error Usage: selenium-standalone action [options] chances are that, you might be not passing any arguments after selenium-standalone command. Or a newLine/linebreak is being passed

Try giving or type the following in one go and then press enter

./node_modules/.bin/selenium-standalone install

It should work fine.

Just installing java worked for me. Run in the terminal this:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jre

then run again

selenium-standalone install && selenium-standalone start
