Build Information
Version: 6.2.0.dev20260427
Tag: weekly-20260427-e8ce2f2
Previous Weekly Tag: weekly-20260420-e093674
Installation
From PyPI (recommended)
Install the latest weekly build directly from PyPI:
pip install altair==6.2.0.dev20260427
# or
uv pip install altair==6.2.0.dev20260427Note: Weekly builds publish timestamped development versions (for example 6.2.0.dev20260427) to PyPI. When you pin that exact version, pip installs the dev build automatically, without the need for a --pre flag.
From GitHub Repository (direct install)
Install directly from the tagged commit without downloading the wheel:
Command line (pip or uv):
pip install git+https://github.com/vega/altair.git@weekly-20260427-e8ce2f2
# or
uv pip install git+https://github.com/vega/altair.git@weekly-20260427-e8ce2f2Note: Installing directly from the weekly-... tag will surface the base development version (without the timestamp suffix) because the version file edits are not committed.
Add to pyproject.toml (pip/uv):
[project]
dependencies = [
"altair @ git+https://github.com/vega/altair.git@weekly-20260427-e8ce2f2",
]Add to pixi.toml (pixi):
[pypi-dependencies]
altair = { git = "https://github.com/vega/altair.git", rev = "weekly-20260427-e8ce2f2" }From GitHub Release (manual download)
Download the wheel or sdist from the release assets and install, for example:
