Description

The One Click Installer installs Robot Framework and its preconditions Python and Jython (optional). It also sets Robot Framework start-up scripts (pybot, jybot, rebot), as well as Python and Jython executables, into the %PATH% environment variable, so that they can be executed from the command line. Note that you need to restart the command prompt for these changes to take effect. You should use this installer ONLY if you do not previously have Python or Jython installed. In that case, and also if you want to have a custom installation, you need to install the needed components separately.

Installers

The One Click Installer requires that you have all the required component installers in the same directory with it, and that they have expected names. If Robot Framework or Python installer is missing, the installation fails. If Jython installer does not exist, Jython is simply not installed. Note that in order to install Jython, Java version 1.4 or newer must be already installed. Minimum supported versions are Robot Framework 2.0, Python 2.5 and Jython 2.2, but latest versions are always recommended. These installers can be downloaded from the respective project web sites. The expected patterns for installer names are robotframework-2.*.exe , python-2.*.msi, and jython_installer-2.*.jar.

Usage

All you need to specify is the base directory where to install Python and Jython. They are installed into the directories Python and Jython, respectively, inside the given base directory. Robot Framework itself is installed under the Python installation directory. Its startup scripts can be found from [PYTHON]\Scripts and code from [PYTHON]\Lib\site-packages.

It is possible to run the One Click Installer from command line by giving the installation directory as argument like RobotFrameworkOneClickInstaller.exe C:\APPS\.
