Usage
-----

The `selenium::server` class is used to setup a `standalone` Selnium instances to use a single server as a test node. The `selenium::hub` class acts as a proxy in front of one or more `selenium::node` instances. A hub + node(s) setup is refered to as a `Selenium grid`. Running `selenium::server` is similar to creating a `Selenium grid` by declaring `selenium::hub` and `selenium::node` on the same host.

It is highly recommend that you read the [Selenium Grid
documentation](http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/07_selenium_grid.jsp#what-is-selenium-grid)
to determine what the best approach for your usage case(s) is.

### Simple

Stand alone server setup with display `:99` (default is `:0`).
