Prerequisites

While not strictly a requirement, we recommend that you use a virtual environment in which to install the SDK and run your projects from. See this tutorial to learn how to set up and activate virtual environments.

​
Installation

The Encord SDK is available through pypi and is installed using the following command: 
python3 -m pip install encord
After successfully installing the Encord SDK, move on to the Authentication page to learn how users get authenticated in Encord.

​
IP Allowlisting

If your network restricts outbound traffic, add Encord’s IP addresses to your allowlist to allow the Encord SDK to communicate with the Encord platform and manage your resources successfully.
US Deployment refers to customers working on Encord’s US-hosted instance, rather than simply being located in the United States.
