# Installation

## Basic Installation

Users can install Prism with `pip`:

```
$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install prism-ds
```

Prism will be installed in Python's `bin` directory, so make sure this directory is included in your `PATH` variable.

You can confirm that the project was successfully installed by running `which prism` in your Terminal emulator.

## Python Versions and M1

A quick note on those whose systems have an Apple M1 chip:

{% hint style="warning" %}
