Cool!
I have a suggestion: In 2024 WPILib, to update Python and RobotPy in roboRIO you can use python3 -m robotpy init, pyproject.toml and python3 -m robotpy sync. It’s an alternate form.

Thanks for writing a guide… but it’s not correct.

  • Your guide is for 2023 and prior years, 2024 is completely different. Granted, I haven’t updated the docs at the robotpy site (shame on me), but see FRC Python Programming — FIRST Robotics Competition documentation for current documentation
  • Even for 2023, commands like python -m RobotPy_installer download-Python would never work because all of the commands are case sensitive and lowercase.
  • python -m robotpy_installer does not work in 2024

Thank you for pointing that out to me, I’ve updated the capitalizations(my mistake when editing no command names). I’m going to go through the documentation and update the post to match the correct commands. I appreciate all the feedback.

I updated the post to reflect the changes and reference the documentation, please let me know if there’s more I need to change.
