# Installation instructions
|
|
|
|
Zulip's REST API is easy to work with directly, but there are API
|
|
libraries available for a few popular languages.
|
|
|
|
The Python library is the most advanced (and has tools for easily
|
|
writing interactive bots that react to messages), so we recommend it
|
|
if you're trying to decide.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
{tab|python}
|
|
|
|
Install the Python API with [pip](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zulip/):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install zulip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{tab|zulip-send}
|
|
|
|
Included with the Python bindings:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install zulip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{tab|js}
|
|
|
|
Install the JavaScript API with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/zulip-js):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install zulip-js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{tab|curl}

No download required!
