# Installation

> Installing the Python toolkit

The Python toolkit is distributed through [PyPI](https://pypi.org/). If you are using
a Python version downloaded from [python.org](https://www.python.org/), then you should
already have `pip` package manager installed. Install the toolkit by running:

```
pip install rebase-toolkit
```

To authenticate through the toolkit you need to first retrieve your API key from the
Rebase Platform UI. In the top write, click the profile icon. Then click `Account` and
choose `API` in the navigation bar to the left.

Then copy your API key and input it in the toolkit `authentication` method as shown below.

```python
import rebase as rb

API_Key = "Your API Key Here"
rb.authenticate(API_Key)
```
