Commands install¶

As of 2020, the command frameworks are distributed as separate packages. The latest command framework is available as robotpy-commands-v2, and the legacy command framework is available in robotpy-commands-v1.

The instructions below discuss installing the new command framework. To install the legacy framework replace commands2 with commands.

Setup (tests/simulator)¶

If you intend to use the command framework in your robot tests or in the simulator, you must install this package locally:

Windows

py -3 -m pip install -U robotpy[commands2]

Linux/macOS

pip3 install -U robotpy[commands2]

Setup (RoboRIO)¶

Even if you have robotpy-commands-v2 installed locally, you must install it on your robot separately.

Use the RobotPy installer and run the following on your computer while connected to the internet:

Windows

py -3 -m robotpy_installer download -U robotpy[commands2]

Linux/macOS

python3 -m robotpy_installer install robotpy[commands2]

For additional details about running robotpy-installer on your computer, see the robotpy-installer documentation.
