**Qiskit** is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of circuits, algorithms, and application modules.



## Installation



The best way of installing `qiskit` is by using `pip`:



```bash

$ pip install qiskit

```



See [install](https://qiskit.org/documentation/getting_started.html) Qiskit for detailed instructions, how to use virtual environments, and

build from source standalone versions of the individual Qiskit elements and components.



## Qiskit Packaging



The Qiskit project used to be made up of many components. However, it is now only comprised of the [**Qiskit Terra**](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-terra)

project and the Qiskit meta-package contained in this repository only installs that.



### Using quantum services



If you are interested in using quantum services, you can check out [the Providers page](https://qiskit.org/providers/) for the list of available providers that Qiskit supports.
