### Installation for users
Use python3.11 or later, as some tools like kfactory are not available for older versions of python. We recommend [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) as an IDE.
If you don't have python installed on your system you can [download anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/download/)
Once you have python installed, open Anaconda Prompt as Administrator and then install the latest gdsfactory using pip.

```
pip install gvtt --upgrade
```
Then you need to restart Klayout to make sure the new technology installed appears.
### Installation for developers
For developers you need to `git clone` the GitHub repository, fork it, git add, git commit, git push and merge request your changes.
```
git clone https://github.com/gdsfactory/vtt.git
cd vtt
pip install -e . pre-commit
pre-commit install
python install_tech.py
```
