FastAPI Setup

To use FastAPI, we of course need to install the Python module. We can easily do this using PIP:

pip install "fastapi[all]" If PIP doesn't work, read our Troubleshooting PIP article.

The above command installs FastAPI and all of its optional dependencies.

To test if you installed FastAPI correctly, run the following Python script:

import fastapi

If you don't get an error, you can now start using FastAPI!
