With new releases of the OpenBB SDK, it would suffice to use `pip install openbb`. If this doesn't update to the latest version you can include the version number as follows `pip install openbb==2.0.0`. Please find the latest version [here](https://pypi.org/project/openbb/).
The OpenBB platform does not provide any data itself as the platform is a data aggregator that connects to almost a hundred different data providers and APIs to access the data.

The OpenBB Terminal is compatible with Windows, Mac Os and Linux. Check the [installation guide](/sdk/quickstart/installation) and [requirements outline](/sdk/quickstart/requirements) for more details.
An installation will use approximately 4GB of space.
Once the installation is finished via `pip` and you have activated the conda environment, as explained in the [installation guide](/sdk/quickstart/installation) you are able to activate a Jupyter Notebook by running `jupyter notebook` or Jupyter Lab with `jupyter lab`. Then, you should be able to use the OpenBB SDK by following along with the [How to use the SDK](/sdk/guides/basics#how-to-use-the-sdk) guide.

Throughout the entire OpenBB Platform, the [Model-view-controller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller) architectural pattern is used for creating functionality in the terminal. This is visible in the OpenBB SDK with the addition of `_chart` within functions relating to the `view` portfion of the pattern. For example the model is displayed with: ``` openbb.economy.ycrv() ``` | | Maturity | Rate | | --: | --------: | ---: | | 0 | 0.0833333 | 3.93 | | 1 | 0.25 | 4.34 | | 2 | 0.5 | 4.61 | | ... | ... | ... | | 8 | 10 | 3.82 | | 9 | 20 | 4.13 | | 10 | 30 | 3.92 | And the view with: ``` openbb.economy.ycrv_chart() ``` 
By default, the load function requests end-of-day daily data and is not included until the EOD summary has been published. The current day's data is considered intraday and is loaded when the `interval` argument is present.
