## Installation Via Pip

It is possible to install rez with pip, like so:
It is possible to install rez with pip, like so (from source root directory):

```
]$ pip install rez
]$ pip install --target /opt/rez .
```

However, this comes with a caveat - rez command line tools _are not guaranteed
to work correctly_ once inside a rez environment (ie after using the `rez-env`
command). The reasons are given in the next section.
The `.` (dot) can also be replaced with link to the GitHub repository,
e.g. choose from:

Pip installation is adequate however, if all you require is the rez API, or you
don't require its command line tools to be available within a resolved environment.
- `git+https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez.git` if you have git installed
- `https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/archive/master.zip`
- `https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/archive/master.tar.gz`

Note that running pip-installed rez command line tools will print a warning like so:
> [[media/icons/warning.png]] The [PyPi rez](https://pypi.org/project/rez) is
> not up to date as of writing. Avoid `pip install rez`
```
Pip-based rez installation detected. Please be aware that rez command line tools
are not guaranteed to function correctly in this case. See
https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/wiki/Installation#why-not-pip-for-production
for futher details.
```
The environment variables to activate `rez` will be slightly different:

1. Add `/opt/rez` to `PYTHONPATH` for API e.g. `python -c 'import rez`
2. Add `/opt/rez/bin` to `PATH` for CLI, e.g. `rez-env`

> See [Why Not Pip For Production?](#why-not-pip-for-production) below.
> You will also be warned with the following message in the terminal:

Alternatively, if you already have `rez` setup and have `pip>=19` available,
you can then install `rez` as a `rez` package by using:
]$ rez-pip --install .
Pip installation is adequate however, if all you require is the rez API, or you
don't require its command line tools (`rez-context`, `rez-search`, `rez-view`,
etc) to be available within a resolved environment.
## Why Not Pip For Production?
### Why Not Pip For Production?
Rez is not a normal python package. Although it can successfully be installed
using standard mechanisms such as pip, this comes with a number of caveats.
