Installation

To install PyAutoGUI, install the pyautogui package from PyPI by running pip install pyautogui (on Windows) or pip3 install pyautogui (on macOS and Linux). (On macOS and Linux, pip refers to Python 2’s pip tool.)

OS-specific instructions are below.

Windows

On Windows, you can use the py.exe program to run the latest version of Python:

py -m pip install pyautogui

If you have multiple versions of Python installed, you can select which one with a command line argument to py. For example, for Python 3.8, run:

py -3.8 -m pip install pyautogui

(This is the same as running pip install pyautogui.)

macOS

On macOS and Linux, you need to run python3:

python3 -m pip install pyautogui

If you are running El Capitan and have problems installing pyobjc try:

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.11 pip install pyobjc

Linux

On macOS and Linux, you need to run python3:

python3 -m pip install pyautogui

On Linux, additionally you need to install the scrot application, as well as Tkinter:

sudo apt-get install scrot

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

sudo apt-get install python3-dev

PyAutoGUI install the modules it depends on, including PyTweening, PyScreeze, PyGetWindow, PymsgBox, and MouseInfo.
