Note
0Install Python
sudo apt-get install python
fedora:yum install python
If not yet installed
fedora: yumlist python /* can view which python version will be installed */
1Install easy_install
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
or:
sudo yum install python-setuptools
2Install Pipeasy_install pip
3Install Robot Frameworkpip install robotframeworkRun test case by execute "pybot [testcase.robot]" in terminal
4Install Robot Framework IDEpip install robotframework-rideStart RIDE by execute ride.py in terminal
5Install Selenium Librarypip install robotframework-selenium2library
6Install Database Librarypip install robotframework-databaselibrary
7Install SSH Librarypip install robotframework-sshlibrary
If fail to install sshlibrary, install paramiko and pycrypto seperately:
pip install paramiko
pip install pycrypto
If above fails to install pycrypto, use yum or apt-get to install python-crypto package. I will put this note to a wiki page.
Fedrora: #yum install python-crypto
Other: #apt-get install python-crypto
8Install wxPython-2.8.12.1
apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8
fedora: yum install wxPython

Note
0Install XcodeDownload and Install Xcode through Apple App StoreIt is absolutely critical that gcc and the OS X command line tools are installed before beginning the installation process.
1Install easy_installcurl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.pypython ez_setup.py
2Install Pipeasy_install pip
3Install Robot Frameworkpip install robotframework
4Install Robot Framework IDEpip install robotframework-ride
5Install Selenium Librarypip install robotframework-selenium2library
6Install Database Librarypip install robotframework-databaselibrary
7Install SSH Librarypip install robotframework-sshlibrary
It is absolutely critical that gcc and the OS X command line tools are installed before beginning the installation process. Trying to build and install paramiko and pycrypto will fail with a variety of errors ranging from “autoconf error” to “ImportError: No module named Crypto” – if you encounter either of those errors it’s because Xcode’s command line tools are not installed yet.
If fail to install sshlibrary, install paramiko and pycrypto independently:
pip install paramiko
pip install pycrypto
If above fails. Install PyCrypto as follow:
#curl -Ohttps://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz
#tar xvfz pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz
#cd to pycrypto.2.6.1
#python setup.py build
#python setup.py install
8Install wxPython-2.8.12.1download and install
wxPython version 2.8.6 or newer with Unicode support is required for RIDE to work.
This installer is not signed by Apple, so by default your Mac will tell you it is corrupted and will not install it. You can get around this by temporarily relaxing the security settings in System Preferences. In the Security & Privacy section set "Allow applications downloaded from" to "Anywhere."
9Create a ride.sh file
#!/bin/bash
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
python /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/robotframework_ride-1.3-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/ride.py
In MacOS, RIDE required 32bit Python. This step runs Python in 32bit.
If run into problem when execute ride.sh, make sure the path to ride.py is correct. Path check as following:
$ which ride.py
/usr/local/bin/ride.py

4Install Robot Framework IDE
Download and install wxPython:
pip install robotframework-ride
Need to install wxPython before running RIDE. wxPython version 2.8.6 or newer with Unicode support is required for RIDE to work.
Start RIDE in cmd by: …>ride
5Install Selenium Librarypip install robotframework-selenium2library
6Install Database Librarypip install robotframework-databaselibrary
7Install SSH Library
Download and Install Visual C++ for Python:
pip install robotframework-sshlibrary
If fail to install sshlibrary, install paramiko and pycrypto independently:
pip install paramiko
pip install pycrypto
