# From pre-made packages (recommended if possible)
The easiest way to install the Orekit Python Wrapper module in Python is to use pre-made packages for the python distribution [Anaconda](http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install.html).
The easiest and often best way to install the Orekit Python Wrapper module in Python is to use pre-made packages for the python distribution [Anaconda](http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install.html).
Orekit and JCC [packages](https://github.com/conda-forge/orekit-feedstock)has been made for Anaconda and can then be installed from the Anaconda python distribution:
Orekit [packages](https://github.com/conda-forge/orekit-feedstock)is being continously built in the conda-forge system and can then be installed from the Anaconda python distribution:
```shell
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda install orekit
conda install-c conda-forge orekit
```
This will install all dependencies (JCC, JDK) and install scripts that sets the necessary path variables (JCC_JDK) at activation.

Note that it is needed to active the conda environment to be used, this triggers a script that sets up the right environment variables. If accessing the python executable directly, for example through an IDE, the tool [conda-wrappers](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-18865#comment=27-1444034) can be used to create executable that runs the activation automatically.
