Also, it showed us this error info by using the official demo(login tests) 
without starting selenium server.
-----------
Import Selenium2Library module failed.
Please make sure you have Selenium2Library installed.

First of all, this tracker is for the old SeleniumLibrary. Selenium2Library has 
its own tracker in its project pages on GitHub. Second, at least with 
SeleniumLibrary you always need to have the server running. I don't know do you 
always need it with Selenium2Library.
