• One physical QF3 Device connected
• One physical smart phone connected

Basic package

sudo apt-get install python-pip git unzip
export LC_ALL=C

Firefox:

Because selenium can not work on firefox version over 47

Please download and install old version firefox (version 46.0.1 is fine)

You can find the deb file at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntuzilla/files/mozilla/apt/pool/main/f/firefox-mozilla-build/

Chrome:

Install Chrome:

https://www.google.com/intl/en-US/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html

Install ChromeDriver:

Please download latest version chrome driver from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
and then put the chromedriver file under /usr/bin/

Robot Framework

sudo pip install robotframework

Selenium

Install Selenium

sudo pip install selenium==2.53.6

DO NOT install selenium >= 3.0.0

because latest selenium does not open firefox with default profile.

then you will need to confirm the certification every time and cause open browser fail.
