### Installing Zotify
> **Windows**
This guide uses *Scoop* (https://scoop.sh) to simplify installing prerequisites and *pipx* to manage Zotify itself.
There are other ways to install and run Zotify on Windows but this is the official recommendation, other methods of installation will not receive support.
- Open PowerShell (cmd will not work)
- Install Scoop by running:
- `Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser`
- `irm get.scoop.sh | iex`
- After installing scoop run: `scoop install python ffmpeg-shared git`
- Install pipx:
- `python3 -m pip install --user pipx`
- `python3 -m pipx ensurepath`
Now close PowerShell and reopen it to ensure the pipx command is available.
- Install Zotify with: `pipx install https://get.zotify.xyz`
- Done! Use `zotify --help` for a basic list of commands or check the *README.md* file in Zotify's code repository for full documentation.
> **macOS**
- Open the Terminal app
- Install *Homebrew* (https://brew.sh) by running: `/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"`
- After installing Homebrew run: `brew install python@3.11 pipx ffmpeg git`
- Setup pipx: `pipx ensurepath`
- Install Zotify: `pipx install https://get.zotify.xyz`
- Done! Use `zotify --help` for a basic list of commands or check the README.md file in Zotify's code repository for full documentation.
> **Linux (Most Popular Distributions)**
- Install `python3`, `pip` (if a separate package), `ffmpeg`, and `git` from your distribution's package manager or software center.
- Then install pipx, either from your package manager or through pip with: `python3 -m pip install --user pipx`
- Install Zotify `pipx install https://get.zotify.xyz`
- Done! Use `zotify --help` for a basic list of commands or check the README.md file in Zotify's code repository for full documentation.
