Installation

Initial installation is on the back of a Centos 6.5 (64 bit in my case) install. I use Virtual Box under Linux Mint 16.

Install Centos 6.5
login as root
Install robotframework:

yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel git-core –y
yum install python-devel -y
curl -o /tmp/ezsetup.py https://sources.rhodecode.com/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py
python /tmp/ezsetup.py
/usr/bin/easy_install pip
rm setuptools-*.tar.gz
pip install -i https://pypi.rhodecode.com/ --upgrade pip
pip install robotframework
pip install virtualenv

Install additional robot framework libraries:

pip install robotframework-selenium2library
pip install robotframework-ftplibrary
pip install robotframework-sshlibrary

Note that selenium needs a browser to drive, so you'll need to install a graphical GUI, you can do this by:

yum -y groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "X Window System" "Fonts"
yum -y groupinstall "Graphical Administration Tools"
yum -y groupinstall "Internet Browser"
yum -y groupinstall "General Purpose Desktop"

If you want to start it up automatically, then instructions are here
