<div class="section-title">Install with <em>pip</em>.</div>
Python is the simplest way to get started. One install gives you the Prediction Engine and the tool you need to request and activate your license.
<p> </p>
## What you need
- Python 3.10 or newer
- A supported computer:
| Operating system | Supported |
| --- | --- |
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | Yes |
| Linux (recent distributions) | Yes |
| Windows (64-bit) | Yes |
## Install
```bash
python -m pip install rbp-engine
```
Check that it worked:
```bash
python -c "import rbp_engine; print('Ready')"
```
## Activate your license
Install comes first. Then follow [[License Key]].
```bash
rbp-license-info
rbp-license-info --setlicense RBP-LIC-1:…
```
If <span class="mono">rbp-license-info</span> is not found, make sure you are in the same Python environment where you ran <span class="mono">pip install</span>. Full paths for macOS, Linux, and Windows: [[License Key#Find the license tool]].

> After your key is active, you are ready to run predictions in Python. Start with [[Functions/Grid Prediction|Grid Prediction]], the recommended analysis path.
