See the :ref:`contributing guide <contributing>` for complete instructions on building from the git source tree. Further, see :ref:`creating a development environment <contributing_environment>` if you wish to create a pandas development environment.

Installing the development version of pandas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Installing a nightly build is the quickest way to:

* Try a new feature that will be shipped in the next release (that is, a feature from a pull-request that was recently merged to the main branch).
* Check whether a bug you encountered has been fixed since the last release.

You can install the nightly build of pandas using the scipy-wheels-nightly index from the PyPI registry of anaconda.org with the following command::

pip install --pre --extra-index https://pypi.anaconda.org/scipy-wheels-nightly/simple pandas

Note that first uninstalling pandas might be required to be able to install nightly builds::

pip uninstall pandas -y
