Introduction

------------



LDTPLibrary is a linux desktop GUI application testing library for `Robot Framework`_

that leverages the `ldtp`_ libraries from the

LDTP project.



- More information about this library can be found on the `Wiki`_ and in the `Keyword Documentation`_.

- Installation information is found in the `INSTALL.rst`_ file.

- Developer information is found in `BUILD.rst`_ file.



Installation

------------



Using ``pip``

'''''''''''''



The recommended installation method is using

`pip `_::



    pip install robotframework-ldtplibrary



The main benefit of using ``pip`` is that it automatically installs all

dependencies needed by the library. Other nice features are easy upgrading

and support for un-installation::



    pip install --upgrade robotframework-ldtplibrary

    pip uninstall robotframework-ldtplibrary



Notice that using ``--upgrade`` above updates both the library and all

its dependencies to the latest version. If you want, you can also install

a specific version or upgrade only the ldtp tool used by the library::



    pip install robotframework-ldtplibrary==10.1.0

    pip install --upgrade ldtp

    pip install ldtp==3.6.0



Proxy configuration

'''''''''''''''''''



If you are behind a proxy, you can use ``--proxy`` command line option

or set ``http_proxy`` and/or ``https_proxy`` environment variables to

configure ``pip`` to use it. If you are behind an authenticating NTLM proxy,

you may want to consider installing `CNTML `__

to handle communicating with it.



For more information about ``--proxy`` option and using pip with proxies

in general see:



- http://pip-installer.org/en/latest/usage.html

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9698557/how-to-use-pip-on-windows-behind-an-authenticating-proxy

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14149422/using-pip-behind-a-proxy



Manual installation

'''''''''''''''''''



If you do not have network connection or cannot make proxy to work, you need

to resort to manual installation. This requires installing both the library

and its dependencies yourself.



1) Make sure you have `Robot Framework installed

   `__.



2) Download source distributions (``*.tar.gz``) for the library and its

   dependencies:



   - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/robotframework-ldtplibrary

   - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ldtp

   - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/decorator



3) Extract each source distribution to a temporary location.



4) Go each created directory from the command line and install each project

   using::



       python setup.py install



If you are on Windows, and there are Windows installers available for

certain projects, you can use them instead of source distributions.

Just download 32bit or 64bit installer depending on your system,

double-click it, and follow the instructions.
