1.3 Installation

Environment Setup

Download a Python environment. We recommend using Conda. Install the latest Miniforge or Miniconda for your system.

Conda download link: Miniforge3

After installation, launch Miniforge Prompt and enter the following command to initialize conda:
shell
```
conda init
```
After installation, launch Miniforge Prompt or your system terminal and enter the following command to create a new Python environment:
shell
```
conda create -n agilesdk python=3.10
```

Enter the following command to activate the newly created environment:

shell

conda activate agilesdk

If setting up a Conda environment is inconvenient, use venv to create and activate a virtual environment:

shell

# Create
python3.10 -m venv agilesdk
# Activate the environment on Windows
.\agilesdk\Scripts\activate
# Activate the environment on Linux
source agilesdk/bin/activate

Enter the cd command to navigate to the extracted directory and use the following command to install the required Python packages:
shell
```
cd extracted_package_directory
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
If pip installation fails, open requirements.txt and use conda to install each package:
shell
```
conda install package_name=<version>
```

IDE Installation

It is recommended to use PyCharm as your development environment.
PyCharm download link: PyCharm
After downloading and installing PyCharm Community Edition, launch the software.
Create a new Python project and select "Pure Python" as the project type.
Select "Base Conda" as the interpreter type and set the path to the previously created agilesdk environment.
Click "Create" to start writing code.

SDK Installation and Testing

Enter the following command to install the Python version of the robot SDK. Replace x.x.x with the current SDK version number:
shell
```
pip install Agilebot.SDK.A-x.x.x-py3-none-any.whl
```

Navigate to the example folder and use the following command to run tests:

shell

cd example
python example_program_name (e.g., python arm/get_version.py)

When running examples, the host computer must be connected to the robot network.
