Installation

Stable release
--------------

To install Annalist, run this command in your terminal:

.. code-block:: console

    $ pip install data-annalist

.. note:: Make sure you install `data-annalist`. The PyPI package called `annalist` is something else.

This is the preferred method to install Annalist, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don't have `pip`_ installed, this `Python installation guide`_ can guide
you through the process.
