Alternative Installation Methods
The following guide shows you how to install PyMongo by using pip. To install PyMongo from source, see Install from Source in the API Documentation.
Create a Project Directory
In your shell, run the following command to create a
directory called pymongo-quickstart for this project:
mkdir pymongo-quickstart
Select the tab corresponding to your operating system and run the following commands
to create a quickstart.py application file in the pymongo-quickstart directory:
cd pymongo-quickstart touch quickstart.py
cd pymongo-quickstart type nul > quickstart.py
Install PyMongo
Select the tab corresponding to your operating system and run the following commands to create and activate a virtual environment in which to install the driver:
python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate
python3 -m venv venv . venv\Scripts\activate
With the virtual environment activated, run the following command to install the current version of PyMongo:
python3 -m pip install pymongo
After you complete these steps, you have a new project directory and the driver dependencies installed.
