All this software is for the NAO Atom, i.e. V4 or newer.

Choreographe Software Suite - easiest way to create programs. Can run the programs directly on the robot, on a robot in its own simulator as well as in the Webots simulator. See the guide further down.
Python SDK - a more powerful way to create programs, full access to the API.
C++ SDK - as Python, but much faster, as it is a compiled language. The easiest way is to run the programs on the robot is remotely through the network. The other way is to compile it for the robot OS (NAOqi OS), but this cross-compilation needs to be done on Linux or Mac.
- Requires an installation of Visual Studio (2008 or 2010)
- Python 2.7.x - 32 bit version(x86) - Add C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\Scripts to your PATH.
- CMake http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html - When installing, remember to add CMake to your PATH. Use version 2.8 and not 3
- Pip to install qiBuild.

Following one of these guides makes you able to create the behaviour of the robot in Choreographe, and run the simulation in Webots:
