.. _installation:
Command line installation
-------------------------
Pylint is installable using a package manager. Your package manager will find a version that
works with your interpreter. We recommend ``pip``:
.. code-block:: sh
pip install pylint
Or if you want to also check spelling with ``enchant`` (you might need to
`install the enchant C library <https://pyenchant.github.io/pyenchant/install.html#installing-the-enchant-c-library>`_):
.. code-block:: sh
pip install pylint[spelling]
The newest pylint supports all Python interpreters that are not past end of life.
We recommend to use the latest interpreter because we rely on the ``ast`` builtin
module that gets better with each new Python interpreter. For example a Python
3.6 interpreter can't analyse 3.8 syntax (amongst others, because of the new walrus operator) while a 3.8
interpreter can also deal with Python 3.6. See :ref:`using pylint with multiple interpreters <continuous-integration>` for more details.
.. note::
You can also use ``conda`` or your system package manager on debian based OS.
These package managers lag a little behind as they are maintained by a separate
entity on a slower release cycle.
.. code-block:: sh
conda install pylint
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt-get install pylint
