Cannot import Selenium2library on Robot Framework : error (import file not found)

Question

I cant not add Selenium2Library, i get this error (import file not found)

*** Settings ***
Documentation     Simple example using SeleniumLibrary.
Library           Selenium2Library

The Selenium2Library is old. Try installing robotframework-seleniumlibrary and then using SeleniumLibrary in your settings. — Bryan Oakley

I have this on pip list : robotframework-selenium2library 1.8.0 robotframework-seleniumlibrary 4.1.1.dev1 — FlutterLover

You don't need both. You should remove robot-selenium2library 1.8.0. that is over 3 years old. — Bryan Oakley

Make sure you have Selenium2Library installed by using

pip list

In case Selenium2Library is not displayed in the list, then download the library by using:

pip install --upgrade robotframework-selenium2library

I assume you have pip installed, If not this is the procedure:

Download get-pip.py to a folder on your computer.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing get-pip.py.
Run the following command: python get-pip.py

Try installation as above @Alberto below or visit for installation documentation

SeleniumLibrary documents says also following:

NOTE: Selenium2Library has been renamed to SeleniumLibrary since version 3.0. Nowadays Selenium2Library is just a thin wrapper to SeleniumLibrary that eases with transitioning to the new project. See SeleniumLibrary and Selenium2Library project pages for more information.
