# Installation

## Basic Installation

Users can install Prism with `pip`:

```

```

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.
