Setting up a new environment

Ideally, before installing or using iexfinance, we’ll create a new virtual environment using virtualenv. This will ensure that our packages are isolated from other projects and configured correctly.

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate

Getting started

Once our environment is created, we can now install iexfinance. We do so by the following from iexfinance’s pypl repository.

(env) $ pip install iexfinance

This will install the latest stable release of iexfinance that is ready for use. Once installed, we can import the library and begin downloading data!
