dependencies needed for WebDriver/ChromeDriver in Java

I am new to setting up a maven project. My code is sloppy and so is the POM.XML So I apologize in advance.

Could someone please explain how I can get WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); to be recognized/working?

I am trying to create a scraper with selenium and like I said I am new to maven. Here is my code:

package Scrape;

/**
 *
 * @author bob
 */
public class Scrape {

    public void scraper(){
        try{
                String phantomjsExecutableFilePath = "//usr//local//bin//phantomjs";
                System.setProperty("phantomjs.binary.path", phantomjsExecutableFilePath);
                //WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver();
                String chromeDriverPath = "/home/bob/Desktop/selenium-chrome-driver-2.26.0";
        //System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverPath);
        //ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
                //options.addArguments("--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1920,1200","--ignore-certificate-errors", "--silent");
                WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
                driver.get("https://us.letgo.com/en?searchTerm=dell%20optiplex");

                //driver.manage().window().maximize();

                driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com");

                Thread.sleep(3000);

                //Print out yahoo home page title.
                System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());



    }catch(Exception ex)
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

and here is POM.XML

    </properties>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

I am defining the path here for chromedriver. I have set its path and made it executable using chmod + x chromedriver. However, I am still having issues with instantiating ChromeDriver/getting my program to recognize that chromedriver is imported.

 String chromeDriverPath = "src/main/resources/chromedriver";
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverPath);
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
                options.addArguments("--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1920,1200","--ignore-certificate-errors", "--silent");
                WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
                driver.get("https://us.letgo.com/en?searchTerm=dell%20optiplex");

First I would download the Chromedriver from official selenium site. The download will be a zip file and unzip the file. In your maven project, you should have "src/main/resources" folder where you should drag and drop the unzipped file [select copy file if prompted].

Then in your test method set property "weddriver.chrome.driver" to "src/main/resources/chromedriver".Then you can carry on, as usual, instantiating chrome driver.
