Installation¶

This part of the documentation covers the installation of Tablib. The first step to using any software package is getting it properly installed.

Installing Tablib¶

Of course, the recommended way to install Tablib is with pip:

$ pip install tablib

You can also choose to install more dependencies to have more import/export formats available:

$ pip install "tablib[xlsx]"

Or all possible formats:

$ pip install "tablib[all]"

which is equivalent to:

$ pip install "tablib[html, pandas, ods, xls, xlsx, yaml]"

You can also install Tablib from source. The latest release (3.4) is available from GitHub.

Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your Python package, or install it into your site-packages easily.

$ python setup.py install

To download the full source history from Git, see Source Control.

The latest version of Tablib will always be available here:

When a new version is available, upgrading is simple:

$ pip install tablib --upgrade

Now, go get a Quick Start.
