Installing the development version of pandas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
206+
207+
Installing a nightly build is the quickest way to:
208+
209+
* Try a new feature that will be shipped in the next release (that is, a feature from a pull-request that was recently merged to the main branch).
210+
* Check whether a bug you encountered has been fixed since the last release.
211+
212+
You can install the nightly build of pandas using the scipy-wheels-nightly index from the PyPI registry of anaconda.org with the following command::
213+
214+
pip install --pre --extra-index https://pypi.anaconda.org/scipy-wheels-nightly/simple pandas
215+
216+
Note that first uninstalling pandas might be required to be able to install nightly builds::
217+
218+
pip uninstall pandas -y
219+
