# Datadog Checks Base
[![Latest PyPI version][1]][7]
[![Supported Python versions][2]][7]
## Overview
This package provides the Python bits needed by the [Datadog Agent][4]
to run Agent-based Integrations (also known as _Checks_).
This package is used in two scenarios:
1. When used from within the Python interpreter embedded in the Agent, it
provides all the base classes and utilities needed by any Check.
2. When installed in a local environment with a regular Python interpreter, it
mocks the presence of a running Agent so checks can work in standalone mode,
mostly useful for testing and development.
Please refer to the [docs][5] for details.
## Installation
Checks from [integrations-core][6] already
use the toolkit in a transparent way when you run the tests but you can
install the toolkit locally and play with it:
```shell
pip install datadog-checks-base
```
## Troubleshooting
