# Downloads

## Stable Versions

The stable versions of PyTables can be downloaded from https://pypi.org/project/tables/.

The documentation in both HTML and PDF formats can be downloaded from https://readthedocs.org/projects/pytables.

A pure source version of the package (mainly intended for developers and packagers) is available on the tags page on GitHub. It contains all files under SCM but not the (generated) files.

You may be interested to install the latest released stable version:

    $ pip install tables

Or, you may prefer to install the stable version in Git repository using pip. For example, for the stable 3.1 series, you can do:

    $ pip install --install-option='--prefix=<PREFIX>' \
    -e git+https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables.git@v.3.1#egg=tables

## Bleeding Edge Versions

The latest, coolest, and possibly buggiest ;-) sources can be obtained from the new github repository:

https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables

A snapshot of the code in development is also available on the GitHub project page.
