מדריך התקנת WPILib

This guide will walk you through installing the WPILib development environment on your computer. This includes the WPILib tools, Visual Studio Code, and all dependencies needed to develop and deploy code to the Systemcore. WPILib Installation is required for Java and C++ teams. Python teams can do a full install per these instructions to get a Visual Studio Code environment with some python extensions, or do a tools only installation to install dashboards such as AdvantageScope and Elastic. Python teams additionally need to follow the Python Installation Guide.

Supported Operating Systems and Architectures:

  • Windows 11, 64 bit only. Arm-based Windows 11 is unsupported.

  • Debian 13 »Trixie«, 64 bit only.

  • Ubuntu 26.04, 64 bit only.

  • macOS 15 or higher, both Intel and Arm.

הערה

Linux distributions other than those mentioned above that contain glibc >= 2.41 may work, but are unsupported.

אזהרה

Windows 10 support from Microsoft ended in October 2025. While we will not explicitly block Windows 10 from being used, future releases may inadvertently break compatibility with Windows 10. We will not postpone these changes in order to maintain Windows 10 compatibility, and Windows 10 support may break as a result.

הערה

C++ compilation is memory intensive. A minimum of 32 GB of RAM is recommended for C++ teams.

This tutorial shows Windows 11, but the steps are identical for all operating systems. Notes differentiating operating systems will be shown.

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.

Start of InstallerAn overview of the installer options

This showcases a list of options included with the WPILib installation.

אתם תבחינו בשני כפתורים, Install for this User ו-Install for all Users. ה-Install for this User יתקין רק במשתמש הנוכחי ואינו דורש הרשאות מנהל מערכת. עם זאת, Install for all Users מתקין את הכלים לכל משתמשי המערכת ודורש הרשאת מנהל. Install for all Users אינה אפשרית עבור macOS ולינוקס.

הערה

If you select Install for all Users, Windows will prompt for administrator access through UAC during installation.

בחרו באפשרות המתאימה לכם, ולאחר מכן יוצג בפניכם מסך ההתקנה הבא.

המסך הבא קשור להורדה של VS Code. מטעמי רישיון, VS Code לא יכול להיכלל במתקין.

Overview of VS Code download options

  • Download for this computer only

    • זה מוריד את VS Code רק עבור הפלטפורמה הנוכחית, שזוהי גם ההתקנה הקטנה ביותר.

  • Skip and don’t use VS Code

    • מדלג על התקנת VS Code. שימושי להתקנות או קונפיגורציות מתקדמות. בדרך כלל לא מומלץ.

  • Select existing VS Code archive for offline install on this computer

    • בחירה באפשרות זו תאפשר לכם לבחור מיקום קובץ קיים של VS Code שהורד בעבר על ידי המתקין. אפשרות זו לא מאפשרת לכם לבחור עותק של VS Code שכבר מותקן במחשב שלכם.

  • 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 ~300MB). Once the download is done, select Next. You should be presented with a screen that looks similar to the one below.

הערה

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

Installer progress bar

לאחר השלמת ההתקנה, יוצג בפניכם מסך הסיום.

Installer finished screen.

חשוב

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 2026. Please launch the WPILib VS Code and not a system installed copy!

מזל טוב, סביבת הפיתוח והכלים של WPILib מותקנים כעת במחשב שלכם! לחצו על סיום כדי לצאת מהמתקין.

לאחר ההתקנה

מערכות הפעלה מסוימות דורשות פעולה סופית כלשהי להשלמת ההתקנה.

לאחר ההתקנה, המתקין פותח את תיקיית ה-WPILib VS Code. גררו את היישום VS Code ל-Dock. הוציאו את דמות הכונן WPILibInstaller משולחן העבודה.

Some Linux versions require you to give the desktop shortcut the ability to launch. Right click on the desktop icon and select Allow Launching.

Menu that pops up after right click the desktop icon in Linux.

Furthermore, modern Ubuntu versions 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 $XDG_DATA_HOME/wpilib/YEAR/wpilibcode/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 ~/.local/share/wpilib/2027/advantagescope/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

הערה

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 2026 (not VS Code), macOS requires Xcode 15.3 or later, and Linux requires GCC 14, on Ubuntu/Debian it is provided by the g++-14 package.

Ensure the Desktop Development with C++ option is checked in the Visual Studio installer for simulation support.

Screenshot of the Visual Studio build tools option

מה הותקן?

המתקין הלא מקוון מתקין את הרכיבים הבאים:

  • Visual Studio Code - ה-IDE הנתמך לפיתוח קוד לרובוטים החל מ-2019. המתקין הלא מקוון מגדיר עותק נפרד של VS Code לפיתוח WPILib, גם אם כבר יש לכם VS Code מותקן. זה נעשה מכיוון שחלק מההגדרות הנדרשות ל-WPILib עשויות לשבור את תהליכי העבודה הקיימים אם אתם משתמשים ב-VS Code לפרויקטים אחרים.

  • C++ Compiler - The toolchains for building C++ code for the Systemcore

  • Gradle - גרסת ה-Gradle עבור בנייה/הורדת קוד רובוט ב-C++ או Java

  • Java JDK/JRE - גרסה ספציפית של Java JDK/JRE המשמשת לבניית קוד Java לרובוט ולהפעלת כל אחד מהכלים מבוססי Java (לוחות מחוונים וכו׳). זה מתקיים יחד עם כל התקנות ה-JDK הקיימות ואינו מחליף את המשתנה JAVA_HOME.

  • WPILib Tools - OutlineViewer, Glass, SysId, Data Log Tool, AdvantageScope, Elastic, WPIcal

  • WPILib Dependencies - כמו OpenCV, וכו׳.

  • VS Code Extensions - WPILib and Java/C++/Python extensions for robot code development in VS Code

  • Documentation - Offline copies of this wpilib-docs documentation and Java/C++/Python APIs

הערה

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 WPILib VS Code installation. This could lead to either installation being broken.

הסרת ההתקנה

WPILib מעוצב כך שיהיה אפשר להתקין שנים שונות בתיקיות נפרדות, כך שלא צריך להסיר גרסא ישנה בשביל להתקין את WPILib של השנה. למרות זאת, אם רוצים, ניתן לעקוב אחר ההוראות הבאות כדי להסיר את WPILib.

  1. Delete the appropriate wpilib folder (c:\Users\Public\wpilib\YYYY where YYYY is the year to uninstall)

  2. מחקו את האיקונים ב-C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop

  1. Delete the appropriate wpilib folder (~/wpilib/YYYY where YYYY is the year to uninstall)

  1. Delete the appropriate wpilib folder ($XDG_DATA_HOME/wpilib/YYYY where YYYY is the year to uninstall). eg rm -rf $XDG_DATA_HOME/wpilib/YYYY
