# Installation
## Official release
To install LangChain run:
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
import CodeBlock from "@theme/CodeBlock";
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="pip" label="Pip" default>
<CodeBlock language="bash">pip install langchain</CodeBlock>
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="conda" label="Conda">
<CodeBlock language="bash">conda install langchain -c conda-forge</CodeBlock>
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
This will install the bare minimum requirements of LangChain.
A lot of the value of LangChain comes when integrating it with various model providers, datastores, etc.
By default, the dependencies needed to do that are NOT installed. You will need to install the dependencies for specific integrations separately.
## From source
If you want to install from source, you can do so by cloning the repo and be sure that the directory is `PATH/TO/REPO/langchain/libs/langchain` running:
```bash
pip install -e .
```
## Langchain experimental
The `langchain-experimental` package holds experimental LangChain code, intended for research and experimental uses.
Install with:
```bash
pip install langchain-experimental
```
## LangChain CLI
The LangChain CLI is useful for working with LangChain templates and other LangServe projects.
Install with:
```bash
pip install langchain-cli
```
## LangServe
LangServe helps developers deploy LangChain runnables and chains as a REST API.
LangServe is automatically installed by LangChain CLI.
If not using LangChain CLI, install with:
```bash
pip install "langserve[all]"
```
for both client and server dependencies. Or `pip install "langserve[client]"` for client code, and `pip install "langserve[server]"` for server code.
## LangSmith SDK
The LangSmith SDK is automatically installed by LangChain.
If not using LangChain, install with:
```bash
pip install langsmith
```
