Installation
====================================================

Once Python is installed, stratapy can be installed using pip, the Python package manager. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

   pip install stratapy

This command will download and install the latest version of stratapy from the internet (you need an active internet connection for this).

After installation, you can verify that stratapy is installed correctly by opening a Python interpreter and running:

.. code-block:: python

   import stratapy
   print(stratapy.__version__)

This should print the version number of stratapy that you have installed.

Stratapy will be updated periodically with new features and bug fixes. To update stratapy to the latest version, you can run:

.. code-block:: bash

   pip install --upgrade stratapy

If working in a Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab, including online platforms like Google Colab, you can install stratapy directly within a code cell by prefixing the pip command with an exclamation mark:

.. code-block:: bash

   !pip install stratapy

You may need to restart the kernel after installation for the changes to take effect.
