Windows installation

  1. Install Python

    1. Check if Python is already installed.
    2. Use python version 2.6 or 2.7; Python >= 3.0 does not work.
    3. Download Python installer from http://www.Python.org
    4. Install python (double-click).

  2. Install bots

    1. Download bots installer
    2. Install bots (double-click).
    3. Installation takes some time; be patient. During the installation the libraries bots needs are installed.
    4. You will be notified if the installation went OK.
    5. If not: contact us via the mailing list.

Note 1:
mind your rights. Both Python and Bots need to be installed as admin (windows vista/7/8).

Note 2:
the windows installer includes all dependencies for standard installation. Some extra dependencies are needed for less used functions (eg. extracting data from excel or pdf files).
