Helpful tips:
1. Always install wxPython before installing RIDE.
wxPython is a wrapper for getting RIDE's GUI.
So it is important to install wxPython before installing RIDE

2. Always check your Python version and install wxPython for the same version
***32 bit – check your python ver by running command python and installing same bit wxpython

3. The pip cache folder is located at – C://Users//Raghav Pal//AppData//Local//pip//cache
If you uninstall and reinstall a lib, it will use the zip from the cache.
fresh to install
– you can empty the contents of the cache folder
– pip install –no-cache-dir robotframework-ride

4. Versions before Robot Framework 3.0 did not have the robot script. Instead, they had pybot, jybot, and ipybot scripts that ran tests using Python, Jython, and IronPython, respectively. These scripts are still installed, but the plan is to terminate and remove them in the future.
