We strongly encourage users to install chainladder in a dedicated virtual environment.

We recommend uv for installing chainladder, but you can use any of the managers below:

Manager	Command	Source
uv (recommended)	`uv add chainladder`	PyPI
pip	`pip install chainladder`	PyPI
pixi	`pixi add chainladder`	conda-forge
conda	`conda install -c conda-forge chainladder`	conda-forge

Alternatively, if you have git and want to enjoy unreleased features, you can install directly from Github:

pip install git+https://github.com/casact/chainladder-python/
