## Client Interface

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="python" title="Install Python package">
    Create a virtualenv or in activated virtualenv, issue this command:

    ```bash
    pip install pulsejet-client
    ```

    For people who will always use Remote Installation, we will provide also thin client.

  <Accordion icon="arrow-down-to-arc" title="Import Pulsejet">
    Import Pulsejet in your Python code like:

    ```python
    import pulsejet_client as pj
    ```

    Now you are ready to go to work with database after running the docker image, or if you are using Pulsejet Cloud or any cloud installation.
