Install Pre-release Version

If you want to test the latest stable version of DVC, ahead of official releases, you can install it from our code repository GitHub.

We strongly recommend creating a virtual environment or using pipx (on Python 3.8+) to encapsulate your local environment.

# Plain DVC
$ pip install git+https://github.com/iterative/dvc

# For cloud storage support, add `egg=dvc[option]` e.g. `s3`.
# Use `all` to include all available clouds.
$ pip install "git+https://github.com/iterative/dvc#egg=dvc[s3]"

For information on our versioning convention, refer to Components of DVC version.

To install a development version for contributing to the project, see the Development environment guide.
