# BiTIA Installation
BiTIA CLI is the Command Interface Tool which helps in getting user inputs with commands, directories and required files. It sends tasks to the server, where bitia-runner processes them and generates results.

**To work with BiTIA, we need to install bitia-cli and submit tasks to the server**
## Installing bitia
Installing bitia is very simple, you only need to have [python-pip] installed in your system

BiTIA CLI is available on [PyPi] as [BiTIA].

Ensure you have a working pip with python installed. You can accomplish this by executing the following commands and confirming that the output looks similar



``` bash
$ python --version
Python 3.N.N
$ pip --version
pip X.Y.Z from ... (python 3.N.N)
```
If that worked, congratulations! You have a working pip in your environment.

  ```{eval-rst}
