1) Your installation with sudo seems to be fine. Although sudo doesn't work on Windows, mentioning it on the instructions is probably a good idea.
2) Your problem with encodings is a bug in the framework. For some reason it gets wrong output encoding and then uses it without verifying that it works. I submitted issue 616 about it and it will be fixed in Robot Framework 2.5.2 next week. Could you please comment issue 616 and tell a little more about your environment?
A possible workaround for the encoding problem is setting LANG environment variable to ASCII when running tests. You can do that like this:
LANG=ascii pybot --log mylog.html --name My_Fine_Tests quickstart.html For more information: http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/wiki/Installation
