It is recommended to install robot_folders using pipx (You can install pipx on Ubuntu using sudo apt install pipx).

pipx install robot-folders

To upgrade robot_folders using pipx do

pipx upgrade robot-folders

Shell setup¶

In order to use robot_folders you’ll have to source its source file. The path of the source file depends on the installation method:

# pipx < 1.3.0 or if ${HOME}/.local/pipx already existed
echo "source ${HOME}/.local/pipx/venvs/robot-folders/bin/rob_folders_source.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

Note: When coming from older pipx versions the path ${HOME}/.local/pipx/venvs might already exist, in which case newer pipx versions will use that one. In that case you’ll have to use the source instructions from pre-1.3.0.

echo "source ${HOME}/.local/share/pipx/venvs/robot-folders/bin/rob_folders_source.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

In case you manually installed robot_folders using a python virtualenv the path is similarly

echo "source <your-virtualenv-path>/bin/rob_folders_source.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
