Installation

Setup

Panel works with Python 3.8 or later on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

The recommended way to install Panel is using the conda command that is included in the installation of Anaconda or Miniconda. Completing the installation for either Anaconda or Miniconda will also install Python.

Note

To help you choose between Anaconda and Miniconda, review this page.

Note

When you begin using conda, you already have a default environment named base. You don’t want to install programs into your base environment, though. Create separate environments to keep your programs isolated from each other.

If you choose not to install Anaconda or Miniconda, you can download Python directly from Python.org. In this case, you can install Panel using pip, which comes with Python.

Installing Panel

Open up a terminal and run the following command, which will install Panel with all its dependencies.

conda

conda install panel

pip

pip install panel
