Installation

To install Helium, you need Python 3 and Chrome or Firefox.

If you already know Python, then the following command should be all you need:

pip install helium

Otherwise - Hi! I would recommend you create a virtual environment in the current directory. Any libraries you download (such as Helium) will be placed there. Enter the following into a command prompt:

python3 -m venv venv

This creates a virtual environment in the venv/ directory. To activate it:

# On Mac/Linux, bash shell:
source venv/bin/activate
# On Windows:
call venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Then, install Helium using pip:

python -m pip install helium

Now enter python into the command prompt and the command from helium import * and you are ready to get started!
