Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of circuits, algorithms, and application modules.

Installation

The best way of installing qiskit is by using pip:

$ pip install qiskit

See install Qiskit for detailed instructions, how to use virtual environments, and build from source standalone versions of the individual Qiskit elements and components.

Qiskit Packaging

The Qiskit project used to be made up of many components. However, it is now only comprised of the Qiskit Terra project and the Qiskit meta-package contained in this repository only installs that.

Using quantum services

If you are interested in using quantum services, you can check out the Providers page for the list of available providers that Qiskit supports.
