Quick Start Guide
=================


The easiest way to download and install circuits is to use the
`pip`_ command:

.. code-block:: sh
   
   $ pip install circuits
   

Now that you have successfully downloaded and installed circuits, let's
test that circuits is properly installed and working.

First, let's check the installed version:

.. code-block:: python
   
   >>> import circuits
   >>> print circuits.__version__
   2.1.0
   
Try some of the examples in the examples/ directory shipped with the
distribution or check out some :doc:`Applications using circuits <../users>`

Have fun :)
