ROBOT FRAMEWORK

Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). It has easy-to-use tabular test data syntax and it utilizes the keyword-driven testing approach.

GETTING STARTED
  
Installation instructions

These instructions cover installing and uninstalling Robot Framework and its preconditions on different operating systems. If you already have pip installed, it is enough to run:

Installing with pip:

Using pip is the recommended way to install Robot Framework. As the standard Python package manager it is included in the latest Python, Jython and IronPython versions. If you already have pip available, you can simply execute:

pip install robotframework

 [ The standard Python package manager is pip.
pip is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python. Many packages can be found in the Python Package Index (PyPI). Python 2.7.9 and later (on the python2 series), and Python 3.4 and later include pip (pip3 for Python 3) by default.

Starting from Python 2.7.9, the standard Windows installer by default installs and activates pip. Assuming you also have configured PATH and possibly set https_proxy, you can run pip install robotframework right after Python installation. With Python 3.4 and newer pip is officially part of the interpreter and should be automatically available.]

Preconditions

Robot Framework is supported on Python (both Python 2 and Python 3), Jython (JVM) and IronPython (.NET) and PyPy. The interpreter you want to use should be installed before installing the framework itself.

Python Installation:

https://www.python.org/downloads/

On most UNIX-like systems such as Linux and OS X you have Python installed by default. If you are on Windows or otherwise need to install Python yourself, a good place to start is http://python.org. There you can download a suitable installer and get more information about the installation process and Python in general.

On Windows it is recommended to install Python to all users and to run the installer as an administrator. Additionally, environment variable PYTHONCASEOK must not be set.

Setting PATH on Windows

On Windows you can configure PATH by following the steps below. Notice that the exact setting names may be different on different Windows versions, but the basic approach should still be the same.

1. Open Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables. There are User variables and System variables, and the difference between them is that user variables affect only the current users, whereas system variables affect all users.
2. To edit an existing PATH value, select Edit and add ;<InstallationDir>;<ScriptsDir> at the end of the value (e.g. ;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts). Note that the semicolons (;) are important as they separate the different entries. To add a new PATH value, select New and set both the name and the value, this time without the leading semicolon.
3. Exit the dialog with Ok to save the changes.
4. Start a new command prompt for the changes to take effect.
