Installation on MacOS

To use DVC as a Python library, please install with pip or with conda.

Install with brew

Recommended. Requires Homebrew.

$ brew install dvc

Install from package

Get the PKG (binary) from the big "Download" button on the home page, or from the release page on GitHub.

Note that currently, in order to open the PKG file, you must go to the Downloads directory in Finder and do a secondary click on it, then select "Open With" > Installer.app, and click the Open button.

You may try these instructions to uninstall the MacOS package.

Install with pip

We strongly recommend creating a virtual environment or using pipx (on Python 3.6+) to encapsulate your local environment.

$ pip install dvc

Depending on the type of the remote storage you plan to use, you might need to install optional dependencies: [s3], [azure], [gdrive], [gs], [oss], [ssh]. Use [all] to include them all.

$ pip install "dvc[s3]"

Install with conda

Requires Miniconda or Anaconda Distribution.

$ conda install -c conda-forge dvc

Currently, it supports Python 3.6-3.8
