Installation

This part of the documentation covers the steps to install Camelot.

Note

as of v1.0.0 ghostscript is replaced by pdfium as the default image conversion backend. This should make the library easier to install with just a pip install (on linux). The other image conversion backends can still be used and are now optional to install.

You can use one of the following methods to install Camelot:

pip

To install Camelot from PyPI using pip, please include the extra cv requirement as shown:

$ pip install "camelot-py[base]"

conda

conda is a package manager and environment management system for the Anaconda distribution. It can be used to install Camelot from the conda-forge channel:

$ conda install -c conda-forge camelot-py

From the source code

1. Cloning the GitHub repository.

$ git clone https://www.github.com/camelot-dev/camelot

2. And then simply using pip again.
