# Python Install
> Install the GenieX Python SDK on Windows ARM64 or Linux ARM64.
The GenieX Python SDK ships as an ARM64 wheel for Windows ARM64 and Linux ARM64.
## **Prerequisites**
* Snapdragon X-series chipset (X Elite or X2 Elite). See [Supported platforms](/en/get-started/platforms).
* **ARM64 Python 3.10+** — x86\_64 / AMD64 builds are not supported.
## **Install via pip**
If Python is not installed, download [Python 3.13.3 for ARM64](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.13.3/python-3.13.3-arm64.exe).
Confirm Python is the ARM64 build — **must print `ARM64`** (not `AMD64`):
```powershell theme={"dark"}
python -c "import platform; print(platform.machine())"
```
Create a virtual environment and install from test PyPI:
```powershell theme={"dark"}
python -m venv geniex-env
.\geniex-env\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -U -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple geniex
```
This pulls the package from [test PyPI](https://test.pypi.org/project/geniex/).
The Qualcomm embedded Linux (Yocto) ships with Python pre-installed. Verify with:
```bash theme={"dark"}
python3 --version
```
Directly pip install:
```bash theme={"dark"}
python3 -m pip install -U -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple geniex
```
This pulls the package from [test PyPI](https://test.pypi.org/project/geniex/) and auto-fetches the Linux ARM64 SDK libraries.
If Python is not pre-installed, see [How do I install Python on a Linux ARM64 device?](/en/resources/faq#how-do-i-install-python-on-a-linux-arm64-device) for a verified Miniconda recipe (covers Qualcomm Yocto and Ubuntu ARM64).
## **Verify**
```python theme={"dark"}
import geniex
print(geniex.version())
```
