Installation

You can use uv or pip to install gget:

uv pip install gget

or

pip install --upgrade gget

Recommended: Install in a clean environment

We recommend using a virtual environment for a clean, conflict-free install. You can use uv, venv, or conda:

With uv:

pip install uv  # if you don't have uv yet
uv venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

uv pip install gget

With pip and venv:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install --upgrade gget

With conda:

conda create -n gget-env python=3.11
conda activate gget-env

pip install --upgrade gget

For use in Jupyter Lab / Google Colab:

import gget

Troubleshooting

• If you see errors about missing dependencies, make sure you are using a clean environment and have the latest version of pip or uv.
• If you previously installed gget system-wide, uninstall it with:

  pip uninstall gget
  

  or remove the executable from your system path.
• If you continue to having trouble, please reach out.
