 | 
						|
#### **2.1 Pypi**
 | 
						|
When you install `bigdl-chronos` from PyPI. We recommend to install with a conda virtual environment. To install Conda, please refer to [here](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html#).
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
conda create -n my_env python=3.7 setuptools=58.0.4
 | 
						|
conda activate my_env
 | 
						|
# click the installation panel above to find which installation option to use
 | 
						|
pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-chronos[pytorch]  # or other options you may want to use
 | 
						|
source bigdl-nano-init  # accelerate the conda env
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### **2.2 OS and Python version requirement**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```eval_rst
 | 
						|
.. note:: 
 | 
						|
    **Supported OS**:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     Chronos is thoroughly tested on Ubuntu (16.04/18.04/20.04), and should works fine on CentOS. If you are a Windows user, the most convenient way to use Chronos on a windows laptop might be using WSL2, you may refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/setup/environment or just install a ubuntu virtual machine.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
```eval_rst
 | 
						|
.. note:: 
 | 
						|
    **Supported Python Version**:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     Chronos only supports Python 3.7.2 ~ latest 3.7.x. We are validating more Python versions.
 | 
						|
```
