To install pymarket, run this command in your terminal:

First check your Python version, PyMarket requires Python 3.5.2 or newer.

You can proceed to install PyMarket with the following command (the –user flag is optimal but recommended).

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