# Installation

## Requirements

- **Python 3.10** or later

## Install coodie

The package is published on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/coodie/) and can
be installed with `pip` (or any equivalent):

```bash
pip install coodie
```

Or with [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv):

```bash
uv add coodie
```

## Driver Extras

coodie itself is driver-agnostic. Install the driver extra that matches your
cluster:

```bash
# ScyllaDB / Cassandra via scylla-driver (recommended)
pip install "coodie[scylla]"

# Cassandra via cassandra-driver
pip install "coodie[cassandra]"

# Async-native driver via acsylla
pip install "coodie[acsylla]"
```

You need **at least one** driver installed to connect to a database.

## Verify the Installation

```python
import coodie
print(coodie.__version__)
```
