Installing
==========
Requirements
------------
Mido requires :term:`Python` version 3.7 or higher.
A few dependencies are also required in order to allow Mido to introspect its
own version:
* `packaging`
* `importlib_metadata` for :term:`Python` < 3.8
.. note::
Dependency management is handled automatically when installing using the
recommended methods. No need to bother installing these manually.
Optional
--------
Dependencies for the loaded on-demand :term:`port` :term:`backend(s)` are
optional unless you want to use the :term:`ports` feature.
See :doc:`backends/index` for help choosing a :term:`backend`.
Installation
------------
The recommended installation method is to use :term:`pip` to retrieve the
package from :term:`PyPi`.
.. note::
Consider using a *virtual environment* to isolate your installation from
your current environment.
This ensures that you always get the latest released stable version::
python3 -m pip install mido
Or, alternatively, if you want to use :term:`ports` with the default
:term:`backend`::
python3 -m pip install mido[ports-rtmidi]
See :doc:`backends/index` for installation instructions for other
:term:`backends`.
