Installation

Stable release

To install Fast Dash, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install fast-dash

This is the preferred method to install Fast Dash, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don't have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Optional extras

The MCP server (mcp_server=True) works out of the box — it is built on Dash's native MCP support, which Fast Dash installs for you.

For the real-time WebSocket backend (backend="fastapi", which streams agent updates to the browser via set_props instead of polling), install the fastapi extra:

$ pip install 'fast-dash[fastapi]'

From source

The source for Fast Dash can be downloaded from the Github repo.

You can either clone the public repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/dkedar7/fast_dash

Or download the tarball:

$ curl -OJL https://github.com/dkedar7/fast_dash/tarball/main

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:

pip install .
