# Installation
## Setup Virtual Environment
When not using a docker container, we recommend using a virtual environment to install AutoGen. This will ensure that the dependencies for AutoGen are isolated from the rest of your system.
```bash
python3 -m venv autogen
source autogen/bin/activate
```
## Python
AutoGen requires **Python version >= 3.8**. It can be installed from pip:
```bash
pip install pyautogen
```
<!--
or conda:
```
conda install pyautogen -c conda-forge
``` -->
### Optional Dependencies
* docker
For the best user experience and seamless code execution, we highly recommend using Docker with AutoGen. Docker is a containerization platform that simplifies the setup and execution of your code. Developing in a docker container, such as GitHub Codespace, also makes the development convenient.
When running AutoGen out of a docker container, to use docker for code execution, you also need to install the python package `docker`:
```bash
pip install docker
```
* blendsearch
```bash
pip install "pyautogen[blendsearch]"
```
* retrievechat
```bash
pip install "pyautogen[retrievechat]"
```
