# 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
|
|
```
