Install pdfminer.six as a Python package
****************************************
To use pdfminer.six for the first time, you need to install the Python
package in your Python environment.
This tutorial requires you to have a system with a working Python and pip
installation. If you don't have one and don't know how to install it, take a
look at `The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python! <https://docs.python-guide.org/>`_.
Install using pip
=================
Run the following command on the commandline to install pdfminer.six as a
Python package::
pip install pdfminer.six
Test pdfminer.six installation
==============================
You can test the pdfminer.six installation by importing it in Python.
Open an interactive Python session from the commandline import pdfminer
.six::
>>> import pdfminer
>>> print(pdfminer.__version__) # doctest: +IGNORE_RESULT
'<installed version>'
Now you can use pdfminer.six as a Python package. But pdfminer.six also
comes with a couple of useful commandline tools. To test if these tools are
correctly installed, run the following on your commandline::
$ pdf2txt.py --version
pdfminer.six <installed version>
