Answer 1

Download gecko driver and give the path like

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette","path".exe");

Answer 2

It's looking for geckodriver.

Download geckodriver from below location and add it to your PATH variable.

Exit existing command line and reopen the same. This should help you.
