2. How to uninstall Robot Framework
3. Helpful Tips

How to setup Robot Framework
-------------------------------------------

Step 1 : Pre-check
       Check if python is already installed
  python --version
  pip --version
       Check if robot framework is already installed
  robot --version

Step 2 : Install Python 
      check on cmd : python --version
          pip --version

Step 3 : Set Python in environment variables
      C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;
      Check: 
                python --version
  pip --version

Step 4 : Install robot framework
       pip install robotframework
       to uninstall : pip uninstall robotframework

Step 5 : Check on cmd :
  robot --version
  pybot --version

Step 6 : Download and install wxPython  
            https://udemy-p3.learnex.fyi/_ud_origin/sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/2.8.12.1/
 check with  : pip freeze  
 wxpython should be available

Step 7 : Install RIDE
            pip install robotframework-ride
            https://udemy-p3.learnex.fyi/_ud_origin/github.com/robotframework/RIDE/wiki/Installation-Instructions

Step 8 : On cmd goto folder where ride.py is (C:\Python27\Scripts)
            run on cmd : ride.py
            This should open RIDE

How to uninstall Robot Framework
-------------------------------------------------------

pip uninstall robotframework-ride
pip uninstall robotframework

======================================================

Helpful TIPS:
1. Always install wxPython before installing RIDE.  
    wxPython is a wrapper for getting the GUI of RIDE. 
    So it is important to install wxPython before you install RIDE

2. Always check your python version and install wxPython for the same version
     ***32 bit - check your python ver by running command python and install same bit     wxpython

3. pip cache folder is located at - C:\Users\Raghav Pal\AppData\Local\pip\cache
            If you uninstall a lib and install it again, it will use the zip from cache. 
            to install fresh 
                - you can empty contents of cache folder
                - pip install --no-cache-dir robotframework-ride

4. Versions prior to Robot Framework 3.0 did not have the robot script. Instead they       had pybot, jybot and ipybot scripts that executed tests using Python, Jython and       IronPython, respectively. These scripts are still installed, but the plan is to deprecate     and remove them in the future.
