# Installation

Users can install the current version of ipywidgets with [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) or [conda](https://conda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

## With pip

`` bash pip install ipywidgets jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension ``

When using [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/) and working in an activated virtual environment, the `--sys-prefix` option may be required to enable the extension and keep the environment isolated (i.e. `jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension --sys-prefix`).

## With conda

`` bash conda install -c conda-forge ipywidgets ``

Installing ipywidgets with conda will also enable the extension for you.
