[Question] How can I install local client? #348

Open jinyoung opened 1 year ago

jinyoung commented 1 year ago

First of all, thanks for the great software.

I completed the installation based on Docker-compose and succeeded in creating a screenshot process using a simple Selenium example by following the tutorial.

However, when I run this process, there is no result. The problem seems to be that the local client is not installed, so I looked for a way to install the client, but I couldn't find a way to install the local client anywhere, so I'm posting this question.

Hi, you can find the local client here, including some setup instructions: https://github.com/bptlab/ark_automate_local However, since it is/was a prototype, it might require some more settings that are not documented to get it working. Just reach out again if you require some assistance (even though I cannot promise that I will be able to solve every problem). Would also be very happy to hear what you are up to and how you found this little project :)

Thank you for your response. It there any plans to develop a client with WebAssembly or automated installer? I found the Python runtime which is run on WebAssembly technology here - https://pyodide.org/en/stable/. Is it possible to run the robot framework including Desktop automation with this technology?

Sorry, currently, there are no plans for developing this research prototype any further. It should be possible to use desktop automation features, but it would require extending the set of RPA Framework methods available for modeling in the software (there is currently only a limited set, like Browser and Excel automation).
