I'm trying to install robotframework RIDE from few days and I tried following all the posts which I found googling, but still facing few problems.Below are the things which i followed and came upto :

  1. I have successfully installed python2.7 --- as i get the version when I execute python --version

  2. I have also installed robot-framework using pip install robot-framework

  3. And also , wxpython

  4. I tried downloading robot-framework ride from the this website, but when I uncompressed it, I was not able to find any executable file. I also tried using pip to install ride, that is pip install robotframework ride, and got the below error: 

    C:\Python27>pip install robotframework ride
You are using pip version 7.0.1, however version 8.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

      Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ride (from versions: )

    No matching distribution found for ride

C:\Python27>

P.S I have made sure that PATH for python is added properly in environment variables.

You don't need RIDE in order to use robot framework. You might want to consider one of the other available options (click on "EDITORS" to see a list of more than a dozen ways to edit robot framework files). - Bryan Oakley

You are using the wrong package name. There is no space between robotframework and ride - it is a hyphen.

pip install robotframework-ride

However, I do not see why you are getting a timeout error. Try again and see.

Once you have installed python. Please check the compatible version of wxPython with the version of python you are using. I am using python 3.7 . Following are the steps needed to install ride:

  1. pip install -U wxPython

  1. pip install robotframework-ride

  1. In the command prompt write ride.py

On Windows you should install wxpython before RIDE.

You can download an appropriate installer from wxPython download page. For more information about the installation see http://wxpython.org pages in general.

Mine is wxpython-2.8.

Hope this help: pip install robotframework-ride --trusted-host pypi.org

I tried with the latest versions of Python and wxPython, but they failed to install. In addition, at the robotframework-ride git page, there isn't an installer, eventhough they say there is one.

Be sure that for Python 2.7 you install a compatible vesion of wxPython. At the sourceforge website, look for the installer that ends with "py27". Only then you would be able to install RIDE correctly.

That worked for me.

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 2.7.14(32 bit) 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(32 bit)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpy... check with : pip freeze
wxpython should be available

Step 7 : Install RIDE pip install robotframework-ride https://github.com/robotframework/RID...

It can be solved either by disabling Proxy server if you are using it or disconnecting VPN.
