If you’re already familiar with Windmill and you’re impressed with its capabilities, it’s time to go to practice. And we will begin the practice of installing Windmill. Below you will find a description of the installation process framework for OC Windows. For * nix and Mac OS, this process will differ somewhat, but still should not cause any difficulty. For instructions on installing Windmill for other operating systems can be found on the official site
To install the Windmill, we need:
Install Python. To this end, we skip the latest version of the interpreter from the official site http://www.python.org/download/ and run the downloaded installer.
After installation is complete, add the following path in the variable PATH:
C: Python26
C: Python26 Scripts
You can do it on the tab Environment Variables (Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables). For detailed instructions on working with the Windows environment variables can be found here
Now we verify that Puthon installed correctly, which execute on the command line:
python – version
As a result, you’ll see the version number assigned interpreter.
On this over with the installation of Python and proceed to install the required tools and libraries to us.
Install utility easy_install. This utility is included in the package of setuptools. Also, it can be installed separately using skritom ez_install.py, which can be found at http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py. Once you download the script, open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where you saved it and run:
python ez_setup.py
Setting up takes a few seconds and no longer require your intervention.
Install the library simplejson.Ustanovka library is only required if you use Python at least version 2.6. To install, run:
easy_install http://files.turbogears.org/eggs/simplejson-1.9.2-py2.5-win32.egg
easy_install independently download the necessary files from the repository and install them on your PC.
Install the package: Python for Windows Extensions. To install extensions, just download and run the installer for your version of Python from page http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018.
Install Windmill. After all the preparatory operations are performed, you can install itself fremvork. To install just type in the command line
easy_install windmill
Once the utility finishes its work, Windmill will be ready for use. Now, typing in the command line, for example, the following:
windmill firefox http://google.com
You can begin recording their first test.
