# Installing FastAPI and Dependencies

* First you need to set up a VENV for this project: [Click here!](https://docs.arkannis.net/programming/python/virtual-environments-venv)
* Once the Terminal and Interpreter are set up to use the version in VENV go ahead and install via PIP

```bash
pip install fastapi[all]
```

* Once this is completed you should have both FastAPI and dependencies installed. 
* This can be checked with

```bash
pip freeze
```

* It will return a list with the packages in pip

Example:

```markdown
anyio==3.6.1
asgiref==3.5.2
certifi==2022.5.18.1
charset-normalizer==2.0.12
