# Installation

DataFusion is easy to install, just like any other Python library.

## Using uv

If you do not yet have a virtual environment, create one:

```bash
uv venv
```

You can add datafusion to your virtual environment with the usual:

```bash
uv pip install datafusion
```

Or, to add to a project:

```bash
uv add datafusion
```

## Using pip

``` bash
pip install datafusion
```

## uv & JupyterLab setup

This section explains how to install DataFusion in a uv environment with other libraries that allow for a nice Jupyter workflow.  This setup is completely optional.  These steps are only needed if you'd like to run DataFusion in a Jupyter notebook and have an interface like this:

![DataFusion in Jupyter](https://github.com/MrPowers/datafusion-book/raw/main/src/images/datafusion-jupyterlab.png)

Create a virtual environment with DataFusion, Jupyter, and other useful dependencies and start the desktop application.

```bash
uv venv
uv pip install datafusion jupyterlab jupyterlab_code_formatter
uv run jupyter lab
```

## Examples

See the [DataFusion Python Examples](https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion-python/tree/main/examples) for a variety of Python scripts that show DataFusion in action!
