Until today, installing the Pebble SDK meant downloading and unzipping the SDK and arm tools, installing some python requirements and updating your bash\_profile.

### New and Improved

We've been working to make it easier to get started with the Pebble SDK. Starting today for OS X users, installing the SDK is as simple as running

in your terminal. Of course, the [manual install guide](https://developer.repebble.com/sdk/install/mac/) for OS X is still available if you run into any issues or are more comfortable installing the requirements manually.

### Caveats

The Pebble SDK requires Python 2.7, as well as OS X 10.6 or later (10.8 or later is recommended). Support for automatic installation on linux distributions is on our roadmap as well.

Try out the one-line SDK install and let us know if you run into any issues by posting on the [SDK Installation Forum](https://forums.getpebble.com/categories/sdk-install) or [contacting us](https://developer.repebble.com/contact.md).

#### Note

> As part of the change, we now install our python dependencies through virtualenv rather than globally on your system, which should reduce the number of issues during installation.
