Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of circuits, algorithms, and application modules.

Qiskit is made up of elements that work together to enable quantum computing. This is a simple meta-package to install the elements of Qiskit altogether.

The best way of installing qiskit is by using pip:

$ pip install qiskit

See install Qiskit for detailed instructions, how to use virtual environments, and build from source standalone versions of the individual Qiskit elements and components.

The Qiskit project used to be made up of many components. However, in the future the Qiskit metapackage will only install Qiskit Terra:

Build	Version	Contribute
Qiskit Terra

For the time being, two other packages are installed, but these components will be removed from the metapackage in a future release.

Build	Version	Contribute
Qiskit Aer
Qiskit IBM Quantum Provider

These components are part of the Qiskit ecosystem but are built on top of qiskit and are not installed by default with the meta-package. You can either install them manually, as an optional extra (ie pip install "qiskit[finance,experiments]"), or all together with pip install "qiskit[all]".

Build	Version	Contribute
Qiskit Optimization
Qiskit Finance
Qiskit Machine Learning
Qiskit Nature
Qiskit Experiments

If you are interested in using quantum services (i.e. using a real quantum computer, not a simulator) you can look at the Qiskit Partners program for partner organizations that have provider packages available for their offerings:
