======================================================

How to uninstall Robot Framework
-------------------------------------------------------

======================================================

Helpful TIPS:
1. Always install wxPython before installing RIDE.
wxPython is a wrapper for getting the GUI of RIDE.
So it is important to install wxPython before you install RIDE

2. Always check your python version and install wxPython for the same version
***32 bit - check your python ver by running command python and install same bit wxpython

3. pip cache folder is located at - C:\Users\Raghav Pal\AppData\Local\pip\cache
If you uninstall a lib and install it again, it will use the zip from cache.
to install fresh
- you can empty contents of cache folder
- pip install --no-cache-dir robotframework-ride

4. Versions prior to Robot Framework 3.0 did not have the robot script. Instead they had pybot, jybot and ipybot scripts that executed tests using Python, Jython and IronPython, respectively. These scripts are still installed, but the plan is to deprecate and remove them in the future.

Thank you. I'm manual tester and I begin to learn Robot Framework. Your tutorial is so detail and clear to understand and follow. I appreciate it.

As someone who has done manual testing and little automation over the past 15 yrs, my co-workers are using robot framework and I'm trying to pick it up. I've watched the first 7 videos of this series and you've done an outstanding job and given me enough to start writing my own automated test cases. Many other tutorial videos just irritate me to no end. Well done Raghav. I thank you. Another co-worker is using Pycharm so I hope to see a video series on that in the future.
