Hi, I’m new to KDB+ and Q. I want to install PyKX on my Windows 10.

I tried `pip install pykdb` on my Python console but it returned the following:

&nbsp;

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.  
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pykdb  
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pykdb

&nbsp;

Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks!

&nbsp;

P.S: I apologize if this question is too trivial.

[PyKX is now available on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pykx/")

You can `pip install pykx` without any username/password.

Hello [@ratata](https://community.kx.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2948")

Welcome to the KX Community! The perfect place to guide you on your KDB+/Q journey.

No question is too trivial by any means.

PyKDB's home of information is located here: https://code.kx.com/pykdb/

This home page presents links to PyKDB installation documentation, references resources that you can reach out to, offers comparisons, overviews, license information, examples and much more.

\*Information for clarification - this is currently only available for customers of KX Insights.

Another link that we share on our [KX Interfaces](https://code.kx.com/q/interfaces/") documentation is: [https://github.com/brogar/pykdb](https://github.com/brogar/pykdb") - this is referenced for your convenience, but it is not a KX endorsed interface and has no affiliation with KX. \*Therefore, we do not support it.

Also, here is a previous welcome post with linked resources that might be helpful when new to kdb+/q: [https://community.kx.com/t5/General/Hello-folks-this-is-new-q-bie/m-p/11056](https://community.kx.com/t5/General/Hello-folks-this-is-new-q-bie/m-p/11056")

Hope this helps you!

_Happy Coding,_

_Leah_
