Installation¶
Let's get Quadro running on your machine.
What you need¶
- Python 3.12 or higher
- A terminal that supports UTF-8 (most modern terminals do)
That's it. Quadro works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Choose your installation method¶
Quick install with pip¶
If you already have Python installed, this is the fastest way:
Using uv (recommended for Python developers)¶
If you use uv for Python package management:
uv is faster than pip and handles dependencies well. If you don't have it yet, the pip method works fine.
Install from source¶
Want to run the latest development version or contribute to Quadro?
This clones the repository and sets up a development environment. Good for trying unreleased features or working on Quadro itself.
Verify it works¶
Check that Quadro installed correctly:
You should see the version number. If you get an error, make sure Python 3.12+ is in your PATH.
What's next¶
Now that Quadro is installed, let's create your first task and see how it all works.
