Note: it is NOT recommended to install mstrio-py in an Anaconda environment. For a seamless experience, install and run it in Python's virtual environment instead.
Install latest version of mstrio-py using pip command in Terminal:
pip install mstrio-pyTo install a specific, archived version of mstrio, choose the desired version available on PyPI package archive and install with pip, as follows:
pip install mstrio-py==10.11.1If there are any issues with the installation process it is possible your setup may differ from usual. In that case, please see below some examples of most common situations and how to resolve them.
In all other cases, please refer to the official Python libraries installation guide.
Note: optimally, you should contact your system administrator and either request access to
PyPIor some proxy setup whitelisting all or some of thePyPIlibraries.
If your setup does not allow to get packages online directly from Python Packages Index (PyPI) using pip, you can download the package manually and install it locally.

Current version: 11.5.7.101 (18 July 2025). Check out CHANGELOG to see what's new.
mstrio-py is constantly developed to support newest Strategy One REST APIs. Functionalities may be added to mstrio on monthly basis. It is recommended to always install the newest version of mstrio-py, as it will be most stable and still maintain backwards compatibility with various Strategy One installations, dating back to 11.1.4.
Features that will be added to the package but require APIs not supported by your environment (I-Server), will raise VersionException.
mstrio-py can be used for both, data-science related activities and for administrative tasks. Former requires at least MicroStrategy 2019 Update 4 (11.1.4), latter works with 11.2.1 and higher.
If you intend to use mstrio with MicroStrategy 2019 Update 3 (11.1.3) or older, refer to the PyPI package archive to download mstrio 10.11.1, which is supported on:
- MicroStrategy 2019 (11.1)
- MicroStrategy 2019 Update 1 (11.1.1)
- MicroStrategy 2019 Update 2 (11.1.2)
- MicroStrategy 2019 Update 3 (11.1.3)
Refer to the PyPI package archive for a list of available versions.
When features (modules, parameters, attributes, methods etc.) are marked for deprecation but still accessed, the following DeprecationWarning will be shown (example below). The functionality will continue to work until the version specified in the warning is released.
