To install Pycord, you can use the following command in your terminal:

python3 -m pip install py-cord
pip install py-cord

:::tip
Remember that you need to install `py-cord`, not `pycord`.
Also, the `python3` command varies depending on your installation. It might be `python` or `python3.8` as an example.
Also, the `pip` command varies depending on your installation. For example, it might be `python3 -m pip` on macOS/Linux or `py3 -m pip` on some versions of Windows.
:::

If you need voice support for your bot, you should run:

python3 -m pip install "py-cord[voice]"
pip install "py-cord[voice]"

## Migration

### Updating Pycord

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Pycord, you can use the following command in your terminal to upgrade to the latest version:

python3 -m pip install -U py-cord
pip install -U py-cord

### Migrating from other libraries

If you are migrating from another library, say, `discord.py`, first of all, you need to uninstall it.

python3 -m pip uninstall discord.py
pip uninstall discord.py

Then, you can install Pycord, it's as simple as that!:

python3 -m pip install py-cord
pip install py-cord

:::caution
Uninstalling `discord.py` *after* installing `py-cord` can cause issues. Make sure to uninstall it first!
