Installing PRAW
===============
PRAW supports Python 3.7+. The recommended way to install PRAW is via ``pip``.
.. code-block:: bash
pip install praw
.. note::
Depending on your system, you may need to use ``pip3`` to install packages for
Python 3.
.. warning::
Avoid using ``sudo`` to install packages. Do you `really` trust this package?
For instructions on installing Python and pip see "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python"
`Installation Guides <https://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/>`_.
Updating PRAW

PRAW can be updated by running:

Installing Older Versions

Older versions of PRAW can be installed by specifying the version number as part of the
installation command:

Installing the Latest Development Version

advantage of? If so, you can install PRAW directly from GitHub like so:
