Don't know how to get it? Need help please guide me.

Answer 1

I'm assuming you downloaded the latest version from github (.i.e. AndroidViewClient 5.4.7). In such case, you don't need monkeyrunner, just python.

I think

python C:\AndroidViewClient-master\AndroidViewClient\tools\dump.py

should work (sorry, I'm guessing as I don't use Windows).

You could also give easy_install a try and keep AndroidViewClient up-to-date automatically. Check How to use Python's "easy_install" on Windows ... it's not so easy for some hints.
