Installing

There are different ways to install Pooch:

Using the pip package manager:

python -m pip install pooch

Using the conda package manager that comes with the Anaconda/Miniconda distribution:

Using pip to install the latest unreleased version from GitHub (not recommended in most situations):

python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/fatiando/pooch

The commands above should be executed in a terminal. On Windows, use the cmd.exe or the “Anaconda Prompt” app if you’re using Anaconda.
