Installing Brownie

The easiest way to install Brownie is via pip.

$ pip install eth-brownie

You can also clone the github repository and use setuptools for the most up-to-date version.

$ python3 setup.py install

Once you have installed, type brownie to verify that it worked:

$ brownie
Brownie v1.0.0 - Python development framework for Ethereum

Usage:  brownie <command> [<args>...] [options <args>]

Dependencies

Brownie has the following dependencies:

• ganache-cli
• pip
• python3 version 3.6 or greater, python3-dev, python3-tk

As brownie relies on py-solc-x, you do not need solc installed locally but you must install all required solc dependencies.
