## Install Python on Mac

The pre-installed Python on MacOS may be outdated,
and may be in conflict with external module requirements.
Therefore we strongly recommend to install Python and the Python module manager Pip
from scratch.

The preferred installation method is using Conda.

If there is a need to switch between different Python versions,
the Python version manager [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv)
may be preferred (see [Python on Linux](/installation/py/linux)).
