# Installation

## Stable release

To install Spyder Env Manager, run this command in your terminal:

```bash
conda install -c conda-forge spyder-env-manager
```

This is the preferred method to install Spyder Env Manager, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

Or with `pip`

```bash
pip install spyder-env-manager
```

Note that for the moment you need to have `conda` installed for the plugin to work, so even when installing with `pip`, `conda`also needs to be available
