        Introduction
        ------------
        
        `Robot Framework <http://robotframework.org>`_ is a generic open source test
        automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven
        development (ATDD). It has easy-to-use tabular test data syntax and it utilizes
        the keyword-driven testing approach. Its testing capabilities can be extended
        by test libraries implemented either with Python or Java, and users can create
        new higher-level keywords from existing ones using the same syntax that is used
        for creating test cases.
        
        Robot Framework is operating system and application independent. The core
        framework is implemented using `Python <http://python.org>`_ and runs also on
        `Jython <http://jython.org>`_ (JVM) and `IronPython <http://ironpython.net>`_
        (.NET). The framework has a rich ecosystem around it consisting of various
        generic test 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`_.

        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_ or cloning the project from GitHub_. After that you can
        install the framework with::
        
            python setup.py install
        
        For more detailed installation instructions, including installing
        Python, Jython and IronPython, 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
        -----
        
        Robot Framework is executed from the command line using ``pybot``, ``jybot``
        or ``ipybot`` scripts, depending is it run on Python, Jython or IronPython.
        The basic usage is giving a path to a test case file or directory as
        an argument with possible command line options before the path. Additionally
        there is ``rebot`` tool for combining results and otherwise post-processing
        outputs::
        
            pybot tests.robot
            jybot --variable HOST:example.com --outputdir results path/to/tests/
            rebot --name Example output1.xml output2.xml
        
        Run ``pybot --help`` and ``rebot --help`` for more information about the command
        line usage. For a complete reference manual see `Robot Framework User Guide`_.
