If you are using Debian , then none of them, Debian is not Linux Mint.

It would help immensely if you explained what you actually need installed (dependencies etc.) to run this thing. References on the 'net are... vague to say the least.
From your link, it looks like you need firefox, openjdk, and xvfb. All of which are in the Debain repos. Do you actually need something from Mint or what?
If your standard procedure for installing software is to follow a 3 year old blog post that tells you to mix repos, you're in for a world of hurt.

Both the xvbf and openjdk-7-jre-headless packages are available in Debian Jessie. The latter package is not available in Debian Stretch. So hopefully you are using Jessie . If so, you can use the standard Debian (Jessie) repository.

From reading the link it looks like the only other thing you need is the jar file for selenium itself. You just download that using the wget command in the linked article.

Just use the openjdk-8-jre packages in Stretch in Stretch instead to provide the Java runtime. Hands off the Jessie repo. Install the "default-jre" metapackage to get it...which a good guide to install selenium woud have mentioned.

That guide is old and outdated. Install "firefox-esr" to provide Firefox in Stretch. There is no need to use outside repositories.

in addition to being outdated and dangerously wrong, this is really badly written.
don't use it.
start from zero with a better tutorial.

Hello,

In this tutorial, we would be discussing the installation procedure to get started with WebDriver initiating from the scratch. We would also be discussing the diverse range of drivers provided by WebDriver, each catering to different testing and environmental needs.

a bot?

Probably, but in the future, please just report it. Making a full quote of the post
and a short comment just makes it more complicated as far as removing the post, etc. We'll just have to watch this new member, The post is not spam, so
nothing I can do.
