.. _installing:
Installing the library
######################
The *nanobind* project is hosted at `wjakob/nanobind on GitHub
<https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind>`_. To use the library in your own
projects, it is usually easiest to install it using one of the following three
methods:
Install via Pip (recommended)
==============================
Run the following command in your terminal to install a package containing both
C++ and CMake source code needed to compile extension modules.
.. code-block:: bash
python -m pip install nanobind
Install via Conda
=================
The following alternative installs an equivalent package through Conda. It is
provided for users that develop Conda-based extensions with a build-time
dependency on *nanobind*, in which case the PyPI package cannot be used.
.. code-block:: bash
conda install -c conda-forge nanobind
Install as a Git submodule
==========================
If you prefer not to involve external package managers, and if your project
uses the Git control system, you may also directly reference *nanobind* as a
`Git submodule <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules>`_. In the
main directory of your repository, run the following commands:
.. code-block:: bash
git submodule add https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind ext/nanobind
git submodule update --init --recursive
This assumes you are placing your dependencies in ``ext/``.
The :ref:`next section <building>` will explain how to set up a basic build
system that you can use to build your first extension module.
