Installation on Windows

Openrtm.org provides an MSI package for installing the Python edition of OpenRTM-aist, its prerequisites such as omniORBpy, and the RTSystemEditor tool all at once on Windows.

Installation by msi package

Download the msi package from download site of openrtm.org. The msi package contains tools such as omniORBpy and RTSystemEditor that are required, but Python needs to be installed in advance.
