Installation
============
.. module:: wlauto
This page describes how to install Workload Automation 2.
Prerequisites
=============
Operating System
----------------
WA runs on a native Linux install. It was tested with Ubuntu 12.04,
but any recent Linux distribution should work. It should run on either
32bit or 64bit OS, provided the correct version of Android (see below)
was installed. Officially, **other environments are not supported**. WA
has been known to run on Linux Virtual machines and in Cygwin environments,
though additional configuration maybe required in both cases (known issues
include makings sure USB/serial connections are passed to the VM, and wrong
python/pip binaries being picked up in Cygwin). WA *should* work on other
Unix-based systems such as BSD or Mac OS X, but it has not been tested
in those environments. WA *does not* run on Windows (though it should be
possible to get limited functionality with minimal porting effort).
Android SDK
-----------
You need to have the Android SDK with at least one platform installed.
To install it, download the ADT Bundle from here_. Extract it
and add ``<path_to_android_sdk>/sdk/platform-tools`` and ``<path_to_android_sdk>/sdk/tools``
to your ``PATH``. To test that you've installed it properly run ``adb
version``, the output should be similar to this::
$$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
$$
.. _here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Once that is working, run ::
android update sdk
This will open up a dialog box listing available android platforms and
corresponding API levels, e.g. ``Android 4.3 (API 18)``. For WA, you will need
at least API level 18 (i.e. Android 4.3), though installing the latest is
usually the best bet.
Optionally (but recommended), you should also set ``ANDROID_HOME`` to point to
the install location of the SDK (i.e. ``<path_to_android_sdk>/sdk``).
Python
------
Workload Automation 2 requires Python 2.7 (Python 3 is not supported, at the moment).
pip
---
pip is the recommended package manager for Python. It is not part of standard
Python distribution and would need to be installed separately. On Ubuntu and
similar distributions, this may be done with APT::
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Python Packages
---------------
.. note:: pip should automatically download and install missing dependencies,
so if you're using pip, you can skip this section.
Workload Automation 2 depends on the following additional libraries:
* pexpect
* docutils
* pySerial
* pyYAML
* python-dateutil
You can install these with pip::
sudo pip install pexpect
sudo pip install pyserial
sudo pip install pyyaml
sudo pip install docutils
sudo pip install python-dateutil
Some of these may also be available in your distro's repositories, e.g. ::
sudo apt-get install python-serial
Distro package versions tend to be older, so pip installation is recommended.
However, pip will always download and try to build the source, so in some
situations distro binaries may provide an easier fall back. Please also note that
distro package names may differ from pip packages.
Optional Python Packages
------------------------
.. note:: unlike the mandatory dependencies in the previous section,
pip will *not* install these automatically, so you will have
to explicitly install them if/when you need them.
In addition to the mandatory packages listed in the previous sections, some WA
functionality (e.g. certain extensions) may have additional dependencies. Since
they are not necessary to be able to use most of WA, they are not made mandatory
to simplify initial WA installation. If you try to use an extension that has
additional, unmet dependencies, WA will tell you before starting the run, and
you can install it then. They are listed here for those that would rather
install them upfront (e.g. if you're planning to use WA to an environment that
may not always have Internet access).
* nose
* pandas
* PyDAQmx
* pymongo
* jinja2
.. note:: Some packages have C extensions and will require Python development
headers to install. You can get those by installing ``python-dev``
package in apt on Ubuntu (or the equivalent for your distribution).
Installing
==========
Download the tarball and run pip::
sudo pip install wlauto-$version.tar.gz
If the above succeeds, try ::
wa --version
Hopefully, this should output something along the lines of "Workload Automation
version $version".
(Optional) Post Installation
============================
Some WA extensions have additional dependencies that need to be
statisfied before they can be used. Not all of these can be provided with WA and
so will need to be supplied by the user. They should be placed into
``~/.workload_uatomation/dependencies/<extenion name>`` so that WA can find
them (you may need to create the directory if it doesn't already exist). You
only need to provide the dependencies for workloads you want to use.
APK Files
---------
APKs are applicaton packages used by Android. These are necessary to install an
application onto devices that do not have Google Play (e.g. devboards running
AOSP). The following is a list of workloads that will need one, including the
version(s) for which UI automation has been tested. Automation may also work
with other versions (especially if it's only a minor or revision difference --
major version differens are more likely to contain incompatible UI changes) but
this has not been tested.

Gaming Workloads
----------------
Some workloads (games, demos, etc) cannot be automated using Android's
UIAutomator framework because they render the entire UI inside a single OpenGL
surface. For these, an interaction session needs to be recorded so that it can
be played back by WA. These recordings are device-specific, so they would need
to be done for each device you're planning to use. The tool for doing is
``revent`` and it is packaged with WA. You can find instructions on how to use
it :ref:`here <revent_files_creation>`.
This is the list of workloads that rely on such recordings:

(Optional) Uninstalling
=======================
If you have installed Workload Automation via ``pip`` and wish to remove it, run this command to
uninstall it::
sudo pip uninstall wlauto
.. Note:: This will *not* remove any user configuration (e.g. the ~/.workload_automation directory)
(Optional) Upgrading
====================
To upgrade Workload Automation to the latest version via ``pip``, run::
sudo pip install --upgrade --no-deps wlauto
