1. Built-in library
Robot framework built-in library path: %PATHON_PATH%\Lib\site-packages\robotframework-3.0.2-py2.7.egg\robot\libraries
RIDE reads the path of built-in libraries: %PATHON_PATH%\Lib\site-packages\robotide\lib\robot\libraries
Generally, the library files under the robot framework should be copied to the library file path of RIDE to ensure that RIDE reads the latest library files
2. External library
The robot framework is developed based on python, and the installation of the external library is the same as the installation of the python library:
Install through pip (you need to know the library name, you can go to https://pypi.org website to check), easy to install;
Install python setup.py install with source code, need to resolve dependencies
