If you are new to Selenium and want to learn Selenium Automation, follow the below steps to setup selenium and start automation.
1. Download latest version of Eclipse from https://www.eclipse.org/neon/
2. Unzip the zipped file after download
3. Install latest version of jdk and jre on your machine from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
4. Install firefox browser (latest version-2). I recommend to install a little previous version as it will be more compatible with selenium than the current version. http://filehippo.com/download_firefox/history/
5. Launch eclipse exe
6. It will ask you to create a workspace. Workspace will be a folder where all your projects will be placed
7. Wait for eclipse to launch. It may take a minute or two
8. If eclipse is properly launched, you will see the below eclipse homepage.

10. Clicking on finish will start downloading selenium backend files in your machine. You can see this process on bottom right of your eclipse window. Wait for it to finish.
11. Now expand to view your project files by clicking on > icon before your project name
