Install via PyPI:
```bash
pip3 install linode-cli
pipx install linode-cli
```

To upgrade:
```
pipx upgrade linode-cli
We recommend using `pipx` to install `linode-cli`, as it installs Python CLI tools in isolated environments and avoids conflicts with system-managed Python packages (PEP 668).
Visit the [Wiki](../../wiki/Installation) for more information.
