Now we'll walk through installing plotly. Plotly is easy to install using pip.

I recommend following the official documentation for the latest version of plotly but python -m pip, install plotly should work fine for you.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that if you want to save images, there's a package called kaleido, which makes it very easy to save your plotly,

images and multiple formats including SVG, PNG, Jpeg and Pdf. You need to install kaleido. separately using python M pip,
0:32
install kaleido, and then this exposes a very simple api for saving your images. In this example, I will write the image as an svg and I
0:42
specify the engine equals kaleido but that is not required in more recent poltly versions.

I wanted to call that out in case you see that in some online examples somewhere.
