在python3而非python2上安装机器人框架

Question

I have python3 pre-installed in fedora, somehow python2 was installed later. After using

pip install robotframework

robot was installed successfully, but it was installed in python 2.7/site-packages.

Is there any way to install and use it in python3? Or, is it possible to uninstall python2, and re-install robot framework on python3?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try this command It may help you in my case it works!

pip3 install robotframework 

If you are using proxy server then use this command

pip3 --proxy <host>:<port> install robotframework

Example

pip3 --proxy 12.3.105.200:8080 install robotframework

And you can uninstall pre-installed by using this

pip uninstall robotframework

Answer 2

You can use below commands to install robot framework for specific python version if you had multiple python version installed,

python -m pip install robotframework   #python 2
python3 -m pip install robotframework  #python 3 

Answer 3

Robotframework has versions for both python 2 and 3, so this is definitely an issue of managing your python environment.

To avoid issues like this in the future, I strongly urge you to use virtual environments .

In a nutshell, you can solve this problem by doing

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install robotframework
