# Installation

# Basics

Bocadillo can be installed using the following command:

pip install bocadillo

Note:

• You will need Python 3.6 and above to use Bocadillo. You can get Python from python.org or via the package manager of your OS.
• On Linux, due to a known limitation in httptools, you also need to install python-dev for your current version of Python, e.g. apt-get install python3.7-dev for Python 3.7.

# Bocadillo CLI

You may also want to install Bocadillo CLI. It comes with useful command line tools to help with project generation and other common tasks.

Install it from pip:

pip install bocadillo-cli

You can use it to verify that Bocadillo was correctly installed (you may have another version of Bocadillo installed):

$ bocadillo -V
Bocadillo CLI: 0.2.0
Bocadillo: 0.18.3
