Guía de Instalación WPILib
This guide is intended for Java and C++ teams. LabVIEW teams can skip to Instalación LabVIEW para FRC (únicamente LabVIEW). Python teams can skip to Guía de instalación de Python. Additionally, the below tutorial shows Windows 11, but the steps are identical for all operating systems. Notes differentiating operating systems will be shown.
Prerrequisitos
- Supported Operating Systems and Architectures:
Windows 10 & 11, 64 bit only. 32 bit and Arm are not supported
Ubuntu 22.04 & 24.04, 64 bit. Other Linux distributions with glibc >= 2.34 may work, but are unsupported
macOS 13.3 or higher, both Intel and Arm.
Advertencia
The following OSes are no longer supported: macOS 12 or earlier, Ubuntu 18.04 & 20.04, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and any 32-bit Windows.
Nota
Windows 10 support from Microsoft will end in October 2025. We intend to continue supporting Windows 10 through the 2026 season, but may have to drop support in 2027. Teams should start planning their upgrade path to Windows 11.
Nota
C++ compilation is memory intensive. A minimum of 32 GB of RAM is recommended for C++ teams.
WPILib is designed to install to different folders for different years, so that it is not necessary to uninstall a previous version before installing this year’s WPILib.

Release Notes
This is an update release of WPILib for the 2025 season. This release fixes an issue with rebooting robot code causing periodic CPU spikes that could cause loop overruns, upgrades Elastic to 2025.2.0 (fixes several camera viewer issues) and AdvantageScope to 4.1.5, and has a number of other quality of life improvements and fixes. This upgrade is recommended for all teams.
Upgrading from earlier 2025 releases is easy: simply download and run the new installer and it will update your current installation. If you already have the 2025 WPILib vscode installed, it will detect it and you can simply click "next" for that installation step. After installation, vscode will prompt you when opening your robot project whether you want to upgrade it to this version. Note that using the installer is required to get the new version of desktop tools such as Elastic and AdvantageScope. This release is compatible with the kickoff release of the RoboRIO image, so there is no need to upgrade the RIO image if you have already done so for 2025.
The documentation for WPILib is located at https://docs.wpilib.org/ (if you have trouble accessing this location, https://frcdocs.wpi.edu/en/stable/ is an alternate location with the same content).
If you're new to FRC, start with Getting Started.
System Requirements: WPILib requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 (Arm and 32-bit are not supported), Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04, or macOS 13.3 or higher. C++ teams should note that the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 is required for desktop builds. Mac users will need to have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed before running the installer. This can be done by running xcode-select --install in the Terminal.
If you're returning from a previous season, check out what's new for 2025. You will need a new RoboRIO image for 2025; this is available via the FRC 2025 Game Tools. Follow the WPILib installation guide to install WPILib.
If you're starting from a 2024 robot project, you will need to import your project to create a 2025 project. The import process is important, as it will make a few automated corrections for some breaking changes that happened in 2025. It is also necessary to import vendor libraries again, since last year’s vendor libraries must be updated to be compatible with this year’s projects.
A complete list of known issues with this release can be found here.
WPILib is developed by a small team of volunteers and the FIRST community.

You can download the latest release of the installer from GitHub.
Once on the GitHub releases page, scroll to the Downloads section.
Then click on the correct binary for your OS and architecture to begin the download.
Extrayendo el Instalador
Cuando descarga el instalador de WPILib, este está distribuido como un archivo de imagen de disco .iso para Windows, .tar.gz para Linux, y distribuido como DMG para MacOS.
Windows 10+ users can right click on the downloaded disk image and select Mount to open it. Then launch WPILibInstaller.exe.
Nota
Other installed programs may associate with iso files and the mount option may not appear. If that software does not give the option to mount or extract the iso file, then follow the directions below.
You can use 7-zip to extract the disk image by right-clicking, selecting 7-Zip and selecting Extract to…. Windows 11 users may need to select Show more options at the bottom of the context menu.
After opening the .iso file, launch the installer by opening WPILibInstaller.exe.
Nota
After launching the installer, Windows may display a window titled «Windows protected your PC». Click More info, then select Run anyway to run the installer.
Nota
Ensure you’ve ejected any previous WPILibInstaller images from the desktop before starting installation
macOS users can double click on the downloaded dmg and then select WPILibInstaller to launch the application.
If a warning is shown about WPILibInstaller being downloaded from the internet, select Open.
Los usuarios de Linux deben extraer el archivo .tar.gz descargado y luego ejecutar WPILibInstaller. Ubuntu trata los ejecutables en el explorador de archivos como bibliotecas compartidas, por lo que hacer doble clic no los ejecutará. Ejecute los siguientes comandos en una terminal en lugar de <version> reemplazado por la versión que está instalando.
$ tar -xf WPILib_Linux-<version>.tar.gz
$ cd WPILib_Linux-<version>/
$ ./WPILibInstaller
Corriendo el Instalador
Al abrir el instalador, se le presentará la siguiente pantalla. Presione Start.
This showcases a list of options included with the WPILib installation.
Tools Only installs just the WPILib tools (Pathweaver, Shuffleboard, RobotBuilder, SysId, Glass, and OutlineViewer) and JDK.
Everything installs the full development environment (VS Code, extensions, all dependencies), WPILib tools, and JDK.
Notará dos botones, Install for this User y Install for all Users. Install for this User solo se instala en la cuenta de usuario actual, y no requiere privilegios de administrador. Sin embargo, Install for all Users instala las herramientas para todas las cuentas del sistema y requerirá acceso de administrador. Install for all Users no es una opción para macOS y Linux.
Nota
If you select Install for all Users, Windows will prompt for administrator access through UAC during installation.
Seleccione la opción que sea adecuada para usted y se le presentará la siguiente pantalla de instalación.
La siguiente pantalla implica la descarga de VS Code. Desafortunadamente, debido a razones de licencia, VS Code no se puede incluir con el instalador.
Download for this computer only
Esto descarga VS Code solo para la plataforma actual, que es también la descarga más pequeña.
Skip and don’t use VS Code
Omitir la instalación de VS Code. Útil para instalaciones o configuraciones avanzadas. Generalmente no es recomendado.
Select existing VS Code archive for offline install on this computer
Al seleccionar esta opción, aparecerá un mensaje que le permitirá seleccionar un archivo zip preexistente de VS Code que ha sido descargado previamente por el instalador. Esta opción no le permite seleccionar una copia ya instalada de VS Code en su máquina.
Create VS Code archives to share with other computers/OSes for offline install
This option downloads and saves a copy of VS Code for all platforms, which is useful for sharing with the installer for future offline installs.
Go ahead and select Download for this computer only. This will begin the download process and can take a bit depending on internet connectivity (it’s ~150MB). Once the download is done, select Next. You should be presented with a screen that looks similar to the one below.
Nota
teams upgrading from Beta will already have a version of VS Code installed. However, it’s still recommended to select Download for this computer only to ensure the latest recommended version of VS Code is installed
Una vez completada la instalación, se le presentará la pantalla finalizada.
Importante
WPILib installs a separate version of VS Code. It does not use an already existing installation. Each year has it’s own copy of the tools appended with the year. IE: WPILib VS Code 2025. Please launch the WPILib VS Code and not a system installed copy!
¡Felicitaciones, el entorno de desarrollo y las herramientas de WPILib ya están instalados en su computadora! Presione Finalizar para salir del instalador.
Post-Instalación
Algunos sistemas operativos requieren acciones finales para completar la instalación.
Después de la instalación, el instalador abre la carpeta WPILib VS Code. Arrastre la aplicación VS Code al dock. Expulsar la imagen de WPILibInstaller del escritorio.
Some versions of Linux (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04 and later) require you to give the desktop shortcut the ability to launch. Right click on the desktop icon and select Allow Launching.
Ubuntu 23.10 and later disable the kernel user namespaces feature for unknown applications. This means that the sandboxing feature won’t work on the WPILib VS Code. To enable sandboxing for the WPILib applications, AppArmor profiles are provided, and can be installed using the command below.
$ sudo cp ~/wpilib/YEAR/frccode/AppArmor/* /etc/apparmor.d/
$ sudo systemctl reload apparmor.service
The above will fix the following error:
The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that ~/wpilib/2025/advantagescope/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Nota
Installing desktop tools and rebooting will create a folder on the desktop called YYYY WPILib Tools, where YYYY is the current year. Desktop tool shortcuts are not available on Linux and macOS.
Additional C++ Installation for Simulation
C++ robot simulation requires that a native compiler to be installed. For Windows, this would be Visual Studio 2022 version 17.9 or later (not VS Code), macOS requires Xcode 14 or later, and Linux (Ubuntu) requires the build-essential package.
Ensure the Desktop Development with C++ option is checked in the Visual Studio installer for simulation support.
¿Qué se instaló?
El instalador sin conexión instala los siguientes componentes:
Visual Studio Code - El IDE compatible para 2019 y el desarrollo de código de robot posterior. El instalador fuera de línea configura una copia separada de VS Code para el desarrollo de WPILib, incluso si ya tiene VS Code en su máquina. Esto se hace porque algunas de las configuraciones que hacen que la configuración de WPILib funcione pueden romper los flujos de trabajo existentes si usa VS Code para otros proyectos.
C++ Compiler - Las cadenas de herramientas para construir código de C++ para la roboRIO
Gradle - La versión específica de Gradle usada para construir/desplegar código de robot C++ o Java
Java JDK/JRE - Una versión específica de Java JDK/JRE que se utiliza para crear código de robot Java y para ejecutar cualquiera de las herramientas basadas en Java (Dashboards, etc.). Esto existe al lado de cualquier instalación de JDK existente y no sobrescribe la variable JAVA_HOME
WPILib Tools - SmartDashboard, Shuffleboard, RobotBuilder, OutlineViewer, PathWeaver, Glass, SysId, Data Log Tool, roboRIO Team Number Setter, AdvantageScope, Elastic, WPIcal
WPILib Dependencies - OpenCV, etc.
VS Code Extensions - WPILib and Java/C++/Python extensions for robot code development in VS Code
Documentation - Offline copies of this frc-docs documentation and Java/C++/Python APIs
Nota
It’s not recommended to use the VS Code Backup and Settings Sync feature to sync settings between a regular VS Code installation and the FRC VS Code installation. This could lead to either installation being broken.
