Installation#

This page lists the primary sources from which hvPlot can be installed.

From PyPI#

hvPlot is distributed on PyPI as a wheel and as a source distribution (sdist).

pip install hvplot

uv pip install hvplot

Pre-releases (alpha, beta, release candidate) can also be installed from PyPI.

pip install hvplot --pre

uv pip install hvplot --prerelease allow

From anaconda.org#

hvPlot is distributed on 3 channels on anaconda.org:

  • conda-forge: Community maintained channel

  • defaults: Anaconda maintained channel (free under certain conditions only, check Anaconda’s Terms of Services)

  • pyviz: HoloViz’ custom channel

We recommend installing final releases either from conda-forge or defaults. Pre-releases are only available from the pyviz/label/dev subchannel.

hvPlot can be installed from these channels using conda, pixi, mamba/micromamba, etc.

conda install conda-forge::hvplot

conda install defaults::hvplot

conda install pyviz/label/dev::hvplot

From Anaconda Distribution#

If you just started with Python and programming in general, an easy way to install hvPlot on your computer is to download and install the Anaconda Distribution that includes most of the HoloViz packages. Note it is subject to Anaconda’s Terms of Services.

From source#

hvPlot can be installed from source by cloning its GitHub repository and running this command:

pip install -e .
