How to import and use Faker Library in RIDE

Question

I have to automate a Register and Sign In test case and I am using RIDE to write my tests. What I actually want to do is:

To make a Register, but every time when I run the test I have to change the email value.
I would prefer to make the Sign In test with the new created account after running the Register test.
It is possible that using RIDE to import faker library and to declare a ${Email} variable, so I can use the respective variable in both tests (Sign In and Register)? If it is, can you please tell me how I should do that or where I can found the necessary documentation.
If it cannot be done using faker library, is there another Robot library that will help me with this problem?

Thank you!

I've managed to Install Faker library, to import it in Ride and to generate random emails, right now I have a problems with the generated emails. I want to gave them a certain domain (default is set as hotmail.com), I want to set something as (mydomain.com) because I don't want to create some accounts on a certain websites for emails that are already in use. Can someone help? Thank You! — Cantor Paul Dan, Feb 26 '16 at 13:18

There is a faker library for robot, that you would use like any other library:

Here is a simple example:

*** Settings ***
| Library | FakerLibrary

*** Test cases ***
Example
    ${email}=  FakerLibrary.Email
    log to console   \nemail: ${email}
