## Find your device
Install the command line tool using `pip` (or download it manually):
### Install pyvizio locally
```bash
$ pip3 install pyvizio
```
> NOTE: If the `pip3` command is not found, try `pip` instead
or
- To install, run `pip3 install pyvizio` in your terminal.
- If `pyvizio` is already installed locally, make sure you are using the latest version by running `pip3 install --upgrade pyvizio` in your terminal.
```bash
$ pip3 install git+https://github.com/vkorn/pyvizio.git@master
```
or
```bash
$ pip3 install -I .
```
### Discover devices
Find your device using the following command:
```txt
pyvizio --ip=0 discover
```bash
$ pyvizio --ip=0 discover
```
and note its IP address. If using the IP address by itself does not work, you may need to append `:9000` or `:7345` to it when using it as a parameter in future commands.
and note its IP address and port number. If you have trouble finding a device you were expecting to, you can try increasing the discovery timeout period by adding the `--timeout` option (e.g. `pyvizio --ip=0 discover --timeout=10`).
