How to install RIDE Editor for Robot Framework on windows

RIDE  editor is used to write and execute test suite for Robot Framework.

It is GUI tool which allows user to write test cases using template base and script. User can choose either ways to write cases.

RIDE only runs on regular Python. It does not run on Jython or IronPython. 

Precondition

• Python
• Robot Framework
• wxPython - RDIE's GUI is implemented using wxPython toolkit.

Note: We must use wxPython2.8-win64-unicode-2.8.12.1-py27 if using win64 bit otherwise it will throw an error.
