# Installation instructions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Zulip's REST API is easy to work with directly, but there are API
 | 
						|
libraries available for a few popular languages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Python library is the most advanced (and has tools for easily
 | 
						|
writing interactive bots that react to messages), so we recommend it
 | 
						|
if you're trying to decide.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
{tab|python}
 | 
						|

						|

 | 
						|

						|
```

						|
pip install zulip
 | 
						|
```
