As mentioned before, there are various ways to set up and distribute testing on the Selenium Grid nodes. For the purpose of showing the command-line options for each type of driver, let's use the dedicated browser type model for each node. Here are the requirements and command-line options for each type of browser node:

1. Install Java 8+ on the VM.
2. Update $PATH to include the Java path.
3. Install the required browser on the node: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and so on.
4. Create a folder called /opt/selenium (Linux and macOS) or C:Selenium (Windows) and download selenium-server-standalone-3.x.x.jar to it.
5. Download the driver for the browser type for the node (ChromeDriver, geckodriver, and so on).
6. Create a bash (or PowerShell) script to run the server with the following commands in it:

// selenium_node.sh

java -jar /opt/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-3.x.x.jar
     -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=/opt/selenium/geckodriver
     -role node
     -nodeConfig /opt/selenium/selenium_node.json

In this example, to load any of the other browser type drivers, you would just replace the -Dwebdriver option with the appropriate driver name, such as -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver, -Dwebdriver.edge.driver, and so on.

All the Selenium standalone server node command-line options can be found by issuing the following command:

java -jar /opt/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-3.x.x.jar 
-role node -h
