Error while installing selenium webdriver on ubuntu, using python3, chrome

Question

I am at the stage of installing Selenium on Ubuntu using Python3 (I want to automate Chrome).

I have installed pip3, chromedriver and when I run the following code in Pycharm:

import os  
from selenium import webdriver  
chromedriver = '/home/anastasia/development/python/projects/selenium/chromedriver'  
os.environ['webdriver.chrome.driver'] = chromedriver  
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)  
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")

Get an error "ImportError: cannot import name 'webdriver'" then I press alt+Enter on webdriver - select Install package and get an error:

"Install Packages Failed. pip install webdriver Non-zero exit code (1)"

I assume the problem is with the version of pip used. How should I correctly set the version pip3 to be used?

@JeroenHeier :~$ pip --version pip 9.0.1 from /home/anastasia/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7) :~$ pip3 --version pip 9.0.1 from /home/anastasia/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5) — Anastaia

pip3 install selenium Requirement already satisfied: selenium in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages — Anastaia

The problem was in google-chrome version. It appeared I got not the lattest. And it was incompatible with the latest chromedriver. After I upgraded chrome all worked successfully!
