Quickstart

Previewing

Before installing, you can preview the Python functionality of Drake by using Binder:

launch binder

As you are exploring, you should also review What’s Available from Python.

Choose an installation method

You can choose to download a pre-compiled version of Drake, or to build it from source. The pre-compiled versions are much easier to use, but the source version is easier to update and will make it easier for you to contribute your fixes/improvements.
