# Installation and Setup

## Installation

Installing pyDraw via the command-line is as simple as one command:

```
pip install pydraw
```

It is also possible to use pydraw by placing the library file in the same directory as your project:

{% embed url="<https://github.com/pydraw/pydraw/releases/1.4.1>" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
&#x20;Using the library file for pyDraw will work normally for most of the time, but you may have to install [Tkinter](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html) and/or [Pillow](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html) if they are not installed!
{% endhint %}

Once you've got pyDraw installed, you're all set. You can test your installation like so:

```python
from pydraw import *

screen = Screen(800, 600)

print('Hello, pyDraw!')
screen.stop()
```

Then run your file with Python, and you're all set:

```bash
python main.py
```
