Binary Ninja can automatically install pip requirements for python plugins installed using the plugin manager. If the plugin author has included a `requirements.txt` file, the plugin manager will automatically install those dependencies. -Binary Ninja ship with an embedded version of Python on Windows and macOS. Instead of installing pip plugins inside that Python, we recommend installing an official version from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) (NOTE: ensure you do not accidentally install a 32-bit build) or a [homebrew](https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-and-Python) Python 3.x build. Binary Ninja currently requires a version of Python 3.7 or greater, though 3.10 or newer is preferred (and may be required by some plugins). +The `Install python3 module` action (available from the [command palette](index.md#command-palette)) can be used to install python3 modules to the local [python folder](index.md#user-folder). -Then you can adjust your [python.interpreter setting](settings.md#python.interpreter) to point to the appropriate install location. Note that the file being pointed to should be a `.dll` or `.dylib` though homebrew will often install libraries without any extension. For example: +Binary Ninja ships with an embedded version of Python on Windows and macOS. On Linux, default Python paths and versions are used instead.
