        Introduction
        ------------
        
        `Robot Framework <http://robotframework.org>`_ |r| 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 generic and custom libraries.
        
        Robot Framework is operating system and application independent. It is
        implemented using `Python <http://python.org>`_ which is also the primary
        language to extend it. 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. Downloads are hosted on PyPI_.
        
        Robot Framework development is sponsored by non-profit `Robot Framework Foundation
        <http://robotframework.org/foundation>`_. If you are using the framework
        and benefiting from it, consider joining the foundation to help maintaining
        the framework and developing it further.

        Installation
        ------------
        
        If you already have Python_ with `pip <https://pip.pypa.io>`_ installed,
        you can simply run::
        
            pip install robotframework
        
        For more detailed installation instructions, including installing Python, see
        `INSTALL.rst <https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/INSTALL.rst>`__.
        
        Robot Framework requires Python 3.8 or newer and runs also on `PyPy <http://pypy.org>`_.
        The latest version that supports Python 3.6 and 3.7 is `Robot Framework 6.1.1`__.
        If you need to use Python 2, `Jython <http://jython.org>`_ or
        `IronPython <http://ironpython.net>`_, you can use `Robot Framework 4.1.3`__.

        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`` .
        
        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`_.
