## Install `PyJWT`

We need to install `PyJWT` to generate and verify the JWT tokens in Python.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and then install `pyjwt`:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install pyjwt

---> 100%
```

</div>
