You are using pip version 19.0.3, however version 20.2.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Python that I chosen is 3.7.4

However, I need to executes the script, which it should be execute normally. However, I found that it caught error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "d:\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "D:\Scripts\robot.exe\__main__.py", line 5, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'robot'

that I don't understand that cause of error. I have already got robot files as well

robot.exe is the name of the application, not for a folder. I don't understand why the program catch robot.exe into path? — Parit Kittirattanaviwat

Because robot.exe is made for an underlying Python file in which the ModuleNotFoundError happens. — Bence Kaulics

How do you start the Robot Framework script? python -m robot? — A. Kootstra

Yes, when I start, i caught error Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in run_module_as_main "main", mod_spec) File "D:\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "D:\lib\site-packages\robot__main_.py", line 25, in <module> from robot import run_cli ImportError: cannot import name 'run_cli' from 'robot' (D:\lib\site-packages\robot_init_.py) — Parit Kittirattanaviwat

Have you found a solution yet? I doubt if your command to execute robot is correct. robot <Path to robot file> will execute it. for example robot Tests/my_robot_test.robot and if you have tags assigned, you can run specific tag test cases with robot -i <tag_id> Tests/my_robot_test.robot

Solution for anyone looking in the future:

I've noticed you have a package called robot installed and Python for whatever reason checks that first and does not look after the executable from the package robotframework.

So just python -m pip uninstall robot and everything should work again.

Or at least that fixed it for me.
