# Installing Autosubmit locally

:::{important}
This is meant for non-KIT users. KIT users should connect to the [Autosubmit server](/Setup/Autosubmit-server.md) instead.
:::

In essence the following steps have to be conducted. There is an extensive [installation guide](https://autosubmit.readthedocs.io/en/master/installation/index.html) provided by the Autosubmit developers.

**Install the prerequisites** `bash`, `python3`, `sqlite3`, `git-scm` \> 1.8.2, `subversion`, `dialog`, `curl`, `python-tk` (`tkinter` in centOS), `graphviz` \>= 2.41, `pip3` on the 'local' system with your package manager.

**Install Autosubmit**:

```bash
pip install autosubmit
autosubmit configure
autosubmit install
```

:::{note}
_auto-icon_ requires Autosubmit versions \> 4.0. It is tested with versions 4.0.105 and the current version 4.1.14.
