Installation with pip
=====================

.. note::
**PyAutoLens** requires **Python 3.12 or later**. If you are on Python
3.9, 3.10, or 3.11, ``pip install autolens`` will fail with a "no matching
distribution" error. Upgrade Python to 3.12+ before installing.

Legacy Python versions
----------------------

We dropped support for Python 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11 in release ``2026.4.5.3``
(April 2026). Pre-``2026.4.5.3`` releases on PyPI have been yanked, so they
will not install via the standard ``pip install autolens`` command.

If you have an existing project that requires a pre-``2026.4.5.3`` version,
you can still install it explicitly by pinning the version, e.g.:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install autolens==2025.10.6.1

Yanked releases remain available for explicit pins; only resolver-driven
fallback is blocked.
