# Installation
Before proceeding, please note that mvt requires Python 3.6+ to run. While it should be available on most operating systems, please make sure of that before proceeding.
## Dependencies on Linux
First install some basic dependencies that will be necessary to build all required tools:
```bash
2021-07-25 09:47:05 +00:00
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip libusb-1.0-0 sqlite3
2021-07-16 06:05:01 +00:00
```
*libusb-1.0-0* is not required if you intend to only use `mvt-ios` and not `mvt-android` .
## Dependencies on Mac
Running MVT on Mac requires Xcode and [homebrew ](https://brew.sh ) to be installed.
In order to install dependencies use:
```bash
2021-07-25 09:47:05 +00:00
brew install python3 libusb sqlite3
2021-07-16 06:05:01 +00:00
```
*libusb* is not required if you intend to only use `mvt-ios` and not `mvt-android` .
## Installing MVT
If you haven't done so, you can add this to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file in order to add locally installed Pypi binaries to your `$PATH` :
```bash
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
```
2021-07-18 14:33:34 +00:00
Then you can install MVT directly from [pypi ](https://pypi.org/project/mvt/ )
```bash
pip install mvt
```
Or from the source code:
2021-07-16 06:05:01 +00:00
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt.git
cd mvt
pip3 install .
```
You now should have the `mvt-ios` and `mvt-android` utilities installed.
