# Use pipx To Install End User Apps
|
||||
|
||||
The [`pipx`](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/) tool is an installer for the python
|
||||
ecosystem. It differs from `pip` in that it is for installing end-user
|
||||
applications and it does so in isolated environments.
|
||||
|
||||
You can install `pipx` with an OS-specific installer like Homebrew:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ brew install pipx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure `pipx`-installed apps are on your path:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ pipx ensurepath
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then use `pipx` to install programs like
|
||||
[`cowsay`](https://pypi.org/project/cowsay/) or
|
||||
[`llm`](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/setup.html):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ pipx install llm
|
||||
|
||||
$ which llm
|
||||
/Users/jbranchaud/.local/bin/llm
|
||||
|
||||
$ llm --version
|
||||
llm, version 0.13.1
|
||||
```
