Installation
============

If you are a student or a teacher in a *Making With Code* course, you should follow
the installation instructions provided in your curriculum. 
(Here are the `installation instructions <https://makingwithcode.org/learning/setup/>`_
for the standard curriculum.) You will need a MWC account to complete the setup.

The *Making With Code CLI* is `distributed as a Python package <https://pypi.org/project/making-with-code-cli/>`_, and can be installed with pip, poetry, uv, or any other Python package manager. 
We recommend installing the CLI using `pipx <https://pipx.pypa.io>`_ so it is available 
system-wide on your computer.
