# How To Install DuckDB

Installing DuckDB is fairly quick and easy since it is a single ~30MB file with no dependencies.

### Installing the command line in Windows

The direct download link for x64 and arm64 is on the [duckdb.org website](https://duckdb.org/install/?platform=windows&environment=cli)

Unzip the `duckdb.exe` file and put it in `C:\DuckDB\duckdb.exe` or a location of your choice

#### Running the DuckDB Notebook from the Command Line

1. Open a command prompt
2. Navigate to your folder where duckdb.exe is. Ex: `CD C:\temp\`
3. Type `duckdb -ui` and press `<Enter>`
4. Wait a few seconds for it to launch a page in your default web browser

### Installing in Python or R

Using DuckDB in Python or R is the easiest way to work with data sets that are larger than your RAM.

#### Installing in Python

```python
pip install duckdb
```

Mac users will need to use `pip3` rather than `pip`.

#### Installing in R / RStudio

```r
install.packages("duckdb")
```
