{: .no_toc }
## Get started quickly with aider-install
{% include get-started.md %}
Or see the
[full installation instructions](/docs/install/install.html)
for more details,
or the
[usage instructions](https://aider.chat/docs/usage.html) to start coding with aider.

## Install with uv
<div class="video-container">
<video controls poster="/assets/install.jpg">
<source src="/assets/install.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<a href="/assets/install.mp4">Installing aider</a>
</video>
</div>
A recommended way to install aider is with uv:
<style>
.video-container {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 76.2711864407%;
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
```bash
python -m pip install uv # If you need to install uv
uv tool install --python python3.12 aider-chat
```
.video-container video {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
You can use uv to install aider with your existing python versions 3.8-3.13.
If needed, it will automatically install python3.12 to use with aider.
Also see the
[docs on other methods for installing uv itself](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
## Install with pipx
A recommended way to install aider is with pipx:
```bash
python -m pip install pipx # If you need to install pipx
pipx install aider-chat
```
You can use pipx to install aider with python versions 3.9-3.12.
Also see the
[docs on other methods for installing pipx itself](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/installation/).
### pipx on replit
{% include replit-pipx.md %}
## Install with pip
You can directly install aider with pip, but one of the above
methods is usually safer.
If you do install with pip, you should consider
using a
[virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html)
to keep aider's dependencies separated.
You can use pip to install aider with python versions 3.9-3.12.
```bash
# Install aider
python -m pip install -U --upgrade-strategy only-if-needed aider-chat
# To work with GPT-4o:
aider --4o --openai-api-key sk-xxx...
# To work with Claude 3.5 Sonnet:
aider --sonnet --anthropic-api-key sk-xxx...
```

There are some [optional install steps](/docs/install/optional.html) you could consider.
