This course is an introduction to SikuliX, a tool that lets you write easy scripts to automate pretty much anything you can do on your computer. 

What is SikuliX? 

• SikuliX automates anything you see on the screen of your desktop computer running Windows, Mac or some Linux/Unix. 
• It uses image recognition to identify and control GUI components. 
• Besides locating images on a screen it can also run the mouse and the keyboard to interact with the identified GUI elements
• SikuliX comes with basic text recognition that can be used to search text in images. 

SikuliX supports the following as scripting languages:

• Python language level 2.7
• Ruby language level 1.9 and 2.0 
• JavaScript 
• You can also use it in Java programming Java aware programming/scripting language (Jython, JRuby, Scala, Clojure, …).

We will be covering scripting SikuliX with Python in this course

Note: SikuliX is a Java application, that works on Windows XP+, Mac 10.6+ and most Linux/Unix systems. For Windows, Mac and Ubuntu 12.04+ it is complete and should normally work out of the box. For Linux/Unix systems there are a few prerequisites to be setup.
