I assume that you have Firefox installed. Now you need to set the path for gecko driver binary like below. Make sure you setProperty before you initialize an object of Firefox driver.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/path/to/binary");
WebDriver webDriver = new FirefoxDriver();

In case you have not downloaded driver binary, please find binary here

More details about gecko driver are available here
