Installation steps for the rest of us

Option 1: I'm comfortable with the command line

Install Streamlit on your own machine using tools like venv and pip.

Option 2: I prefer a graphical interface

Install Streamlit using the Anaconda Distribution graphical user interface. This is also the best approach if you're on Windows or don't have Python set up.

Option 3: I'd rather use a cloud-based environment

Use Streamlit Community Cloud with GitHub Codespaces so you don't have to go through the trouble of installing Python and setting up an environment.

Option 4: I need something secure, controlled, and in the cloud

Use Streamlit in Snowflake to code your apps in the cloud, right alongside your data with role-based access controls.
