Using pip

The recommended installation method is using pip:

pip install robotframework-imaplibrary

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-imaplibrary
pip uninstall robotframework-imaplibrary

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:

pip install robotframework-imaplibrary==x.x.x

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:

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.

• Make sure you have Robot Framework installed.

• Download source distributions (*.tar.gz) for the library:

  • https://pypi-hypernode.com/pypi/robotframework-imaplibrary

• Download PGP signatures (*.tar.gz.asc) for signed packages.

• Find each public key used to sign the package:

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --search-keys D1406DE7

• Select the number from the list to import the public key

• Verify the package against its PGP signature:

gpg --verify robotframework-imaplibrary-x.x.x.tar.gz.asc robotframework-imaplibrary-x.x.x.tar.gz

• Extract each source distribution to a temporary location.

• Go to 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.
