        **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.
        
        ## Installation
        
        The best way of installing `qiskit` is by using `pip`:
        
        ```bash
        $ pip install qiskit
        ```
        
        See [install](https://qiskit.org/documentation/getting_started.html) Qiskit for detailed instructions, how to use virtual environments, and
        build from source standalone versions of the individual Qiskit elements and components.
        
        ## Qiskit Packaging
        
        The Qiskit project is made up of many components that all serve a particular purpose. 
        This repository contains a meta-package that will install the following components:
        
        
        | Build   | Version | Contribute |
        | ---     | --- | --- |
        | [**Qiskit Terra**](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-terra) | [![](https://img.shields.io/github/release/Qiskit/qiskit-terra.svg?)](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-terra/releases)  | [![](https://img.shields.io/github/forks/Qiskit/qiskit-terra.svg?)](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-terra) |

        ### Deprecated
        
        These components are installed as part of the metapackage for the time being,
        but are deprecated (or will be deprecated in the near future) and will be
        removed in a future release.

        | [**Qiskit IBM Quantum Provider**](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibmq-provider)  |  [![](https://img.shields.io/github/release/Qiskit/qiskit-ibmq-provider.svg?)](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibmq-provider/releases) | [![](https://img.shields.io/github/forks/Qiskit/qiskit-ibmq-provider.svg?)](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibmq-provider) |
        
        ### Optional components
        
        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]"`.

        ### Using quantum services
        
        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:
