(G)Installation flow
Installing OpenRTM-aist Python version and PyYAML
Install rtctree (support library)
Install rtsprofile (support library)
Install rtshell
Execution confirmation
(G)Installing OpenRTM-aist Python version and PyYAML
OpenRTM-aist-Python is required for some functions (system management) of rtshell. Install Python 2.6 or 2.7 and OpenRTM-aist-Python according to the installation document of OpenRTM-aist-Python. Documentation. PyYAML will be downloaded and installed from PyYAML website. The version is okay even if it is the latest.
(G)Installation of rtctree
From openrtm.org download site Download rtctree-3.1 package (rtctree-3.1.0.win32.exe).
When you run the package, the following dialog will be displayed, and click [Next].
A dialog to select the version of Python is displayed. Confirm that the correct version of Python is selected, and click [Next]. In the example below Python 2.6 is selected.
The "Ready to Install" dialog is displayed. Then click [Next].
Installation will be done. When you are finished, click [Finish] to complete the installation.
(G)Installation of rtsprofile
From openrtm.org download site Download rtsprofile-3.1 package (rtsprofile-3.1.0.win32.exe).
When you run the package, the following dialog will be displayed, and click [Next].
A dialog to select the version of Python is displayed. Confirm that the correct version of Python is selected, and click [Next]. In the example below Python 2.6 is selected.

(G)Installation of rtshell
From openrtm.org download site Download rtshel- 3.0.0 package (rtshell-3.1.0.win32.exe).
When you run the package, the following dialog will be displayed, and click [Next].
A dialog to select the version of Python is displayed. Confirm that the correct version of Python is selected, and click [Next]. In the example below Python 2.6 is selected.
The "Ready to Install" dialog is displayed. Then click [Next].
Installation will be done. When you are finished, click [Finish] to complete the installation.
(G)Confirmation of execution
For execution confirmation, execute rtls command of rtshell command group and test whether rtshell is correctly installed. First, start the OpenRTM-aist name service and start ConsoleIn. After starting the component, start the Windows command prompt.
Execute the following command at the command prompt.
set RTCTREE_NAMESERVERS=127.0.0.1
rtls -R
The first line sets environment variables. "RTCTREE_NAMESERVERS" is a variable used by rtshell's support library rtctree, and specifies the name server seen by rtshell. The second line shows the components registered in all name servers. In the case of success, it is displayed as follows.
(G)In case it does not move
If the command can not be found, there is a possibility that PATH is not set. Adding two paths like the following to the PATH environment variable will work. (An example is when Python 2.6 is installed.)
