        Introduction
        ------------
        
        `Robot Framework <http://robotframework.org>`_ is a generic open source
        automation framework for acceptance testing, acceptance test driven
        development (ATDD), and robotic process automation (RPA). It has simple plain
        text syntax and it can be extended easily with libraries implemented using
        Python or Java.
        
        Robot Framework is operating system and application independent. The core
        framework is implemented using `Python <http://python.org>`_, supports both
        Python 2.7 and Python 3.5+, and runs also on `Jython <http://jython.org>`_ (JVM),
        `IronPython <http://ironpython.net>`_ (.NET) and `PyPy <http://pypy.org>`_.
        The framework has a rich ecosystem around it consisting of various generic
        libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects. For more
        information about Robot Framework and the ecosystem, see
        http://robotframework.org.
        
        Robot Framework project is hosted on GitHub_ where you can find source code,
        an issue tracker, and some further documentation. See `CONTRIBUTING.rst <https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst>`__
        if you are interested to contribute. Downloads are hosted on PyPI_, except
        for the standalone JAR distribution that is on `Maven central`_.
        
        Robot Framework development is sponsored by `Robot Framework Foundation
        <http://robotframework.org/foundation>`_.

        Installation
        ------------
        
        If you already have Python_ with `pip <http://pip-installer.org>`_ installed,
        you can simply run::
        
            pip install robotframework
        
        Alternatively you can get Robot Framework source code by downloading the source
        distribution from PyPI_ and extracting it, or by cloning the project repository
        from GitHub_. After that you can install the framework with::
        
            python setup.py install
        
        For more detailed installation instructions, including installing Python,
        Jython, IronPython and PyPy or installing from git, see `INSTALL.rst <https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/INSTALL.rst>`__.
        
        Example
        -------
        
        Below is a simple example test case for testing login to some system.
        You can find more examples with links to related demo projects from
        http://robotframework.org.

        Usage
        -----
        
        Tests (or tasks) are executed from the command line using the ``robot``
        command or by executing the ``robot`` module directly like ``python -m robot``
        or ``jython -m robot``.
        
        The basic usage is giving a path to a test (or task) file or directory as an
        argument with possible command line options before the path::
        
            robot tests.robot
            robot --variable BROWSER:Firefox --outputdir results path/to/tests/
        
        Additionally there is the ``rebot`` tool for combining results and otherwise
        post-processing outputs::
        
            rebot --name Example output1.xml output2.xml
        
        Run ``robot --help`` and ``rebot --help`` for more information about the command
        line usage. For a complete reference manual see `Robot Framework User Guide`_.
