# Installation

Looking for old Evidently Dashboards? Read the [migration guide](https://francesco.gitbook.io/docs.evidentlyai.com/support/migration).

## MAC OS and Linux

`Evidently` is available as a PyPI package. To install it using the **pip package manager**, run:

```bash
$ pip install evidently
```

To install `evidently` using **conda installer**, run:

```sh
conda install -c conda-forge evidently
```

To display visualization **in a Jupyter notebook**, `evidently` uses `jupyter nbextension`. To enable it, run the **two following commands** in the terminal from the Evidently directory after installing `evidently`.

To install `jupyter nbextension`, run:

```
$ jupyter nbextension install --sys-prefix --symlink --overwrite --py evidently
```

To enable it, run:

```
$ jupyter nbextension enable evidently --py --sys-prefix
```

That's it! A single run after the installation is enough.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: you only require **nbextension** if you want to get visualization in Jupyter notebook. If you do not install it, you can still use Evidently. You can use Evidently Monitoring UI, or generate Reports and Test Suites as JSON, Python dictionary, or standalone HTML files to view in the browser.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: if you **use other notebook environments, e.g. Jupyter Lab**, Evidently might work differently. See more details below.

## Cloud notebooks

### Google Colab

You can run `evidently` in Google Colab.

To install `evidently`, run the following command in the notebook cell:

```
!pip install evidently
```

There is no need to enable nbextension for this case. `Evidently` uses an alternative way to display visuals.

### Other cloud notebooks

You can run `evidently` in Kaggle Notebook, Jupyter Lab, Deepnote, Databricks or other notebook environments. Note that **only Google Colab** is currently officially supported.

To install `evidently`, run the following command in the notebook cell:

```
!pip install evidently
```

There is no need to enable nbextension for this case. `Evidently` uses an alternative way to display visuals.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Visualizations in cloud notebooks other than Colab**. When displaying Evidently Reports and Test Suites, you will need to **explicitly specify the inline show method**. Consult [this section](https://francesco.gitbook.io/docs.evidentlyai.com/integrations/notebook-environments) for help. If you face issues, you can get the output as a separate HTML file and view it in a browser.
{% endhint %}

## Windows

`Evidently` is available as a PyPI package.

To install it using the **pip package manager**, run:

```bash
$ pip install evidently
```

To install `evidently` using **conda installer**, run:

```sh
conda install -c conda-forge evidently
```

**Note**: Nbextension does not work on Windows. `Evidently` uses an alternative way to display visuals.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Visualizations on Windows**. When displaying Evidently Reports and Test Suites in Jupyter notebook, you will need to **explicitly specify the inline show method**. Consult [this section](https://francesco.gitbook.io/docs.evidentlyai.com/integrations/notebook-environments) for help. If you face issues, you can get the output as a separate HTML file and view it in a browser.
