# Installation

Django Codemod requires Python 3.6 or above. The preferred way to install Django Codemod, is with [pipx]:

```shell
$ pipx install django-codemod
```

It will install the latest stable release in an isolated virtual environment, hence not polluting your global Python with dependencies.

If you don't have [pipx] installed, checkout [their installation instructions][pipx-install] for your operating system of choice.

## Other ways to install

Django Codemod [is published on PyPI][pypi], and is based on [libCST], therefore you may install it with `pip`, `poetry` or `pipenv` if you wish to.
