Installation

Install the pyRobotiqGripper python package using pip or uv.

We recommend using uv, a fast, modern Python package and project manager, but a traditional pip installation works just as well.

Using uv (recommended)

Note

If not already installed, follow the instructions to install uv from the official documentation: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/

uv add requires a uv-managed project, i.e. a directory with a pyproject.toml. If your project doesn’t have one yet, create it first:

# in a new, empty folder
uv init my-project
cd my-project

# or, in an existing folder that already has code
cd my-existing-project
uv init

Then add the package:

uv add "pyRobotiqGripper[all]"

Otherwise, uv can also be used as a fast drop-in replacement for pip inside a virtual environment:

uv venv
uv pip install "pyRobotiqGripper[all]"

Using pip

python -m venv .venv

# Windows
.venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS/Linux
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install "pyRobotiqGripper[all]"

The all extra includes the optional dependencies used by the joystick CLI and history/data helper methods.
