+To use the Python SDK elsewhere, you can install from PyPI or a distribution package.

 
 

-{% include 'notebox_begin' %}
-The Python SDK requires Python 2.7.
-{% include 'notebox_end' %}
+As of Arvados 2.1, the Python SDK requires Python 3.5+.  The last version to support Python 2.7 is Arvados 2.0.4.

 
 

-h4. Option 1: Install from distribution packages
+h2. Option 1: Install from a distribution package

 
 

-First, "add the appropriate package repository for your distribution":{{ site.baseurl }}/install/install-manual-prerequisites.html#repos.
+This installation method is recommended to make the CLI tools available system-wide. It can coexist with the installation method described in option 2, below.

 
 

-{% assign rh_version = "6" %}
-{% include 'note_python_sc' %}
+First, configure the "Arvados package repositories":../../install/packages.html

 
 

-On Red Hat-based systems:
+{% assign arvados_component = 'python3-arvados-python-client' %}

 
 

-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install python-arvados-python-client</code>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
+{% include 'install_packages' %}

 
 

-On Debian-based systems:
+h2. Option 2: Install with pip

 
 

-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install python-arvados-python-client</code>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
+This installation method is recommended to use the SDK in your own Python programs. If installed into a @virtualenv@, it can coexist with the system-wide installation method from a distribution package.

 
 

-h4. Option 2: Install with pip
+Run @pip install arvados-python-client@ in an appropriate installation environment, such as a @virtualenv@.

 
 

-Run @pip-2.7 install arvados-python-client@ in an appropriate installation environment, such as a virtualenv.
+Note:

 
 

-If your version of @pip@ is 1.4 or newer, the @pip install@ command might give an error: "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement arvados-python-client". If this happens, try @pip-2.7 install --pre arvados-python-client@.
+The SDK uses @pycurl@ which depends on the @libcurl@ C library.  To build the module you may have to first install additional packages.  On Debian 10 this is:

 
 

-h4. Option 3: Install from source
-
-Install the @python-setuptools@ package from your distribution.  Then run the following:
+<pre>
+$ apt-get install git build-essential python3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev
+</pre>

 
 

-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">git clone https://github.com/curoverse/arvados.git</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">cd arvados/sdk/python</span>
-~/arvados/sdk/python$ <span class="userinput">python2.7 setup.py install</span>
-</code></pre>

+If your version of @pip@ is 1.4 or newer, the @pip install@ command might give an error: "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement arvados-python-client". If this happens, try @pip install --pre arvados-python-client@.

 
 

-You may optionally run the final installation command in a virtualenv, or with the @--user@ option.
