# Install NoteWise

> Install the NoteWise CLI with uv, pipx, pip, Docker, or the short binary installer.

NoteWise requires Python `>=3.11` when installed from PyPI. The CLI entry point is `notewise`.

This page only covers installation choices. Pick one method, verify the CLI is available, then continue to [Quickstart](/docs/start/quickstart) for provider setup and your first video.

## Standalone installers

Use the standalone installer when you prefer a release binary instead of a Python tool environment. Browser visits show install options; `curl`/`wget` receive the POSIX installer; PowerShell receives the Windows installer. The release installers download the latest GitHub release asset and verify checksums.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash macOS or Linux theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
  curl -fsSL https://notewise.click/install | sh
  ```

  ```powershell Windows PowerShell theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
  irm https://notewise.click/install | iex
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Set `NOTEWISE_INSTALL_DIR` before running an installer to choose the install location.

## Verify

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
notewise version
```

If `notewise version` prints a version, installation is done. Continue with [Quickstart](/docs/start/quickstart) to create config and process one public video.
