Installation is as simple as:

:::code-group
```bash title="pip"
pip install pydantic
```

```bash title="uv"
uv add pydantic
```
:::

Pydantic has a few dependencies:

- [`pydantic-core`](https://pypi.org/project/pydantic-core/): Core validation logic for Pydantic written in Rust.
- [`typing-extensions`](https://pypi.org/project/typing-extensions/): Backport of the standard library typing module.
- [`annotated-types`](https://pypi.org/project/annotated-types/): Reusable constraint types to use with `typing.Annotated`.
- [`typing-inspection`](https://pypi.org/project/typing-inspection/): Runtime typing introspection tools.

If you've got Python 3.10+ and `pip` installed, you're good to go.

Pydantic is also available on [conda](https://www.anaconda.com) under the [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org)
channel:

```bash
conda install pydantic -c conda-forge
```

## Optional dependencies

Pydantic has the following optional dependencies:

- `email`: Email validation provided by the [email-validator](https://pypi.org/project/email-validator/) package.
- `timezone`: Fallback IANA time zone database provided by the [tzdata](https://pypi.org/project/tzdata/) package.

To install optional dependencies along with Pydantic:

:::code-group
```bash title="pip"
# with the `email` extra:
pip install 'pydantic[email]'
# or with `email` and `timezone` extras:
pip install 'pydantic[email,timezone]'
```

```bash title="uv"
# with the `email` extra:
uv add 'pydantic[email]'
# or with `email` and `timezone` extras:
uv add 'pydantic[email,timezone]'
```
:::

Of course, you can also install requirements manually with `pip install email-validator tzdata`.

## Install from repository

And if you prefer to install Pydantic directly from the repository:

:::code-group
```bash title="pip"
pip install 'git+https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic@main'
# or with `email` and `timezone` extras:
pip install 'git+https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic@main#egg=pydantic[email,timezone]'
```

```bash title="uv"
uv add 'git+https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic@main'
# or with `email` and `timezone` extras:
uv add 'git+https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic@main#egg=pydantic[email,timezone]'
```
