## What is Woob?

Woob (short for Web outside of browsers) is is a collection of applications able to interact with websites, without requiring the user to open them in a browser. One of such applications allows specifically to interact with financial institutions. &kmymoney; provides a plugin that employs it directly, therefore allowing to import transactions from account at those institutions which otherwise do not offer support for any other financial protocol that &kmymoney; handles.

&kmymoney; currently requires that you install Woob independently. Refer to the following sections for details.

## Installing Woob

An increasing number of Linux distributions provide a package for Woob, and this is preferable, if one is available for you.

You need to install Python 3 first before continuing. All Linux distributions provide packages for Python, but you can always download a package for your system from the official website.

With Python 3 installed, you should now be able to easily download and install required Woob modules. Please refer to the instructions on Woob website.
