# Installation
**magicgui** is a pure Python package, and can be installed with `pip`:
```bash
pip install magicgui
```
or with `conda`:
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge magicgui
```
## Backends
**magicgui** requires a backend to be installed in order to function, but it
does not specify a particular backend by default. The following backends are
available:
- `PyQt5`: `pip install magicgui[pyqt5]`
- `PyQt6`: `pip install magicgui[pyqt6]`
- `PySide2`: `pip install magicgui[pyside2]`
- `PySide6`: `pip install magicgui[pyside6]`
- `Jupyter Widgets`: `pip install magicgui[jupyter]`
!!!important
Note not all widgets are necessarily implemented for all backends.
Most widgets in the [widget docs](../api/widgets/) specify which backends
are supported.

The [`Image`][magicgui.widgets.Image] widget requires `pillow`. You may use the `image` extra:
```bash
pip install magicgui[image]

pip install magicgui[tqdm]
```
The [`QuantityEdit`][magicgui.widgets.QuantityEdit] widget requires `pint`.
