 # Installing CLMM <a name="installing"></a>
 
+CLMM can be installed with `pip` or `conda`.
+There commands will install most of the dependencies for CLMM,
+with the exception of the backend to be used on theoretical predictions,
+check [this](#backends) section for details.
+
+For a `pip` installation, run:
+
+```bash
+    pip install clmm
+```
+
+For a `conda` installation, run:
+
+```bash
+    conda install -c conda-forge clmm
+```
+
+We highly recommend you make a new conda environment for the installation of CLMM,
+see [INSTALL documentation](INSTALL.md) for instructions on how to do it.
