# Installation

The **eIQ Vela** tool is distributed as a Python package hosted on NXP's [**eIQ PyPI**](https://eiq.nxp.com/repository)
repository. A standard `pip install` won’t find it, since `pip` looks only in the default PyPI repository. To make the
package discoverable,you need to configure `pip` to search the additional repository first. You can do that with the
following commands:

```
python -m pip config --user set global.index https://eiq.nxp.com/repository
python -m pip config --user set global.index-url  https://eiq.nxp.com/repository
python -m pip config --user set global.trusted-host eiq.nxp.com
python -m pip config --user set global.extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple
python -m pip config --user set global.find-links https://eiq.nxp.com/repository/
```

Now you can install the package with `pip`.

```
python -m pip install nxp-ethos-u-vela
```
