> **Note:** For new projects, use [Configaroo](https://github.com/gahjelle/configaroo) instead.
## Installing PyConfs
PyConfs is available at [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pyconfs/). You can install it using Pip:
$ python -m pip install pyconfs
## Using PyConfs
A **PyConfs Configuration** is a dictionary-like object that unifies several different configuration file formats, including INI, JSON, TOML, and YAML.
**Read a configuration from file**:
from pyconfs import Configuration
cfg = Configuration.from_file("sample.json")
**Access entries in a configuration**:
package_name = cfg.name
first_name = cfg.author.firstname
## Installing From Source
You can always download the [latest version of PyConfs from GitHub](https://github.com/gahjelle/pyconfs). PyConfs uses [Flit](https://flit.readthedocs.io/) as a setup tool.
To install PyConfs from the downloaded source, run Flit:
$ python -m flit install --deps production
If you want to change and play with the PyConfs source code, you should install it in editable mode:
$ python -m flit install --symlink
