Stable release
--------------

To install dask-image, run this command in your terminal:

.. code-block:: console

    $ conda install -c conda-forge dask-image

This is the preferred method to install dask-image, as it will always install
the most recent stable release.

If you don't have `conda`_ installed, we recommend downloading and installing it
with the conda-forge distribution `Miniforge`_.

Alternatively, you can install dask-image with pip:

.. code-block:: console

    $ python -m pip install dask-image

If you don't have `pip`_ installed, this `Python installation guide`_
can guide you through the process.
