Installation - Windows¶
This guide provides instructions on installing the Cozmo SDK for computers running with a Windows operating system.
Installation Videos¶
For your convenience, videos are provided showing the installation steps being followed on a Windows computer; one using an iOS device, and one using an Android device. There is also full text-based documentation below these.
Python Installation¶
Download the Python 3.5.1 (or later) executable file from Python.org and run it on your computer.
Important
We recommend that you tick the “Add Python 3.5 to PATH” checkbox on the Setup screen.
SDK Installation¶
To install the SDK, type the following into the Command Prompt window:
pip3 install --user cozmo[camera]
Note that the [camera] option adds support for processing images from Cozmo’s camera.
SDK Upgrade¶
To upgrade the SDK from a previous install, enter this command:
pip3 install --user --upgrade cozmo
Mobile Device Setup¶
- iOS devices require iTunes to ensure that the usbmuxd service is installed on your computer. Usbmuxd is required for the computer to communicate with the iOS device over a USB cable. While iTunes needs to be installed, it does not need to be running.
- Android devices require installation of Android Debug Bridge (adb) in order to run the Cozmo SDK. This is required for the computer to communicate with the Android mobile device over a USB cable and runs automatically when required.
Troubleshooting¶
Please see the Troubleshooting section of the Initial Setup page for tips, or visit the Cozmo SDK Forums to ask questions, find solutions, or for general discussion.
