I Have installed robodk software on windows and I have raspberry pi 3+ B model which is connected with 6 of robotic arms?
There is the option of connecting. Can i use my raspberry pi IP over there and can i run/ control the robot?

The easier way would be to install RoboDK on your Raspberry Pi and control the robot(through RoboDK) using the RoboDK API on your windows computer. Otherwise you would have to do some network routing which is not really part of RoboDK but your network setup.

Hi as per your guidance I have downloaded RoboDK in Raspberry Pi. After unzipping it I saw a text file regarding installation. I went step by step, but after executing the last command (i.e. ./RoboDK-Start.sh) I'm getting this error:
Code:
sudo ./RoboDK-Start.sh

I see you are trying to launch RoboDK 5.3. The latest version is 5.4. Did you download RoboDK from https://robodk.com/download?
There might also have been an issue when installing the dependencies, did you notice any errors when installing them? You can try reinstalling as a superuser (sudo sh)

I have downloaded the recent version of robodk in raspberry pi 3 B+.
after that i have use this command " sudo ./Install-RoboDK.sh " .

Is there any easy way to download robodk in Raspberry pi ( manually)
as you can see in the terminal, there 14 dependencies of RoboDK that could not be installed and there was a prompt where you were denied permission (you should try using sudo)
Unfortunately, linux is not as user friendly as other operating systems and you should get used to Troubleshooting on these kind of systems. This is the standard way to install any program on linux.
You can start by making sure your repositories are up to date and trying to install the dependencies that were not found during installation.
If you do not have a fresh installation of Raspbian there might be some packages that are conflicting with these dependencies.
A quick answer to your first question is that yes, you can connect to an instance of RoboDK remotely by starting the Robolink object on your client PC and providing the IP.
Example:
Code:
RDK = Robolink("raspberrypi")
# or any valid IP
RDK = Robolink("192.168.1.100")
Make sure RoboDK is running on the Raspberry Pi so you can connect from your Windows PC or any other remote client (you can start it manually or as a service).
RoboDK instances on linux/raspberry make the API available from external clients by default (this is not the case on Windows and you would need to make the API reachable from other computers in Tools-Options-Other). Make sure you are using a valid IP to connect.
In my opinion, the install worked. You can validate by starting RoboDK on the Raspberry Pi.
I'm having exactly the same issue as omkar11023, while attempting to install RoboDK on the Raspberry Pi.
It's installed 'successfully' in root and can be seen in there but at the same time it doesn't exist. Using sudo isn't helping either, unfortunately.
I really think a thorough instructional video would benefit a great number of people and enable them to get use and enjoyment out of this version of RoboDK. It would be greatly appreciated.
