### Google Fonts
Material for MkDocs makes fonts [easily configurable][2] by relying on Google
Fonts CDN. Embedding fonts from Google is currently within a gray area as there's
no official statement or ruling regarding GDPR compliance and the topic is still
[actively discussed][3]. If you need to ensure GDPR compliance, you may disable
the usage of the Google Font CDN with:
``` yaml
theme:
font: false
```
When Google Fonts are disabled, Material for MkDocs will default to __Helvetica
Neue__ and __Monaco__ with their corresponding fall backs, relying on system
fonts. You can easily include your own, self-hosted webfont by [overriding][4]
the `fonts` block.

When you're running the pre-installed version of Python on macOS, `pip` tries
to install packages in a folder for which your user might not have the adequate
permissions. There are three possible solutions for this:
1. __Installing in a virtual environment__: Virtual environments provide an easy
way of encapsulation.
2. __Installing in user space__: Provide the `--user` flag to the install
command and `pip` will install the package in a user-site location. Note
that while this is not a global installation, it's still not
3. __Switching to a homebrewed Python__: Upgrade your Python installation to a
self-contained solution by installing Python with Homebrew. This should
eliminate a lot of problems you could be having with `pip`.
### Virtual environments
If you're installing Material for MkDocs with `pip`, the easiest way to make
sure that you end up with the correct versions and without any incompatibility
problems between packages it to use a [virtual environment][9]. First, ensure
that you have a Python version of 3 or higher installed:
``` sh
python --version
```
If you're good to go, create and activate a virtual environment with:
```
python -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
```
Note that the second `venv` is the name of the folder where to create the
virtual environment you may choose it as you like. Your terminal should now
print `(venv)` before the prompt and the `python` executable should be located
inside the folder you just created.
Next, install Material for MkDocs with `pip`, which will download and install
all packages in the `venv` folder you just created, including MkDocs and its
dependencies:
``` sh
pip install mkdocs-material
```
Verify that MkDocs and Material for MkDocs were both installed correctly:
``` sh
mkdocs --version
mkdocs serve --help
```
MkDocs should list `material` as an option under the `--theme` flag. When you're
finished working with MkDocs, you can exit the virtual environment with:
```
deactivate
```

When you're running the pre-installed version of Python on macOS, `pip` tries
to install packages in a folder for which your user might not have the adequate
permissions. There are three possible solutions for this, the recommended one
of which is to use virtual environments:
=== "Virtual environments"
If you're installing Material for MkDocs with `pip`, the easiest way to make
sure that you end up with the correct versions and without any
incompatibility problems between packages it to use a [virtual
environment][1]. First, ensure that you have a Python version of 3 or
higher installed:
```
python --version
```
If you're good to go, create and activate a virtual environment with:
```
python -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
```
Note that the second `venv` is the name of the folder where to create the
virtual environment you may choose it as you like. Your terminal should
now print `(venv)` before the prompt and the `python` executable should be
located inside the folder you just created.
Next, [install Material for MkDocs][2] with `pip`, which will download and
install all packages in the `venv` folder you just created, including MkDocs
and its dependencies:
```
pip install mkdocs-material
```
Verify that MkDocs and Material for MkDocs were both installed correctly:
```

mkdocs serve --help
```
MkDocs should list `material` as an option under the `--theme` flag. When
you're finished working with MkDocs, you can exit the virtual environment
with:
```
deactivate
```
=== "User space"
Provide the `--user` flag to the install command and `pip` will install the
package in a user-site location. While this is not a global installation,
it's still not isolated and may lead to problems when you use different
versions of Material for MkDocs in other projects:
```
pip install --user mkdocs-material
```
=== "Upgrade Python"
Upgrade your Python installation by installing Python with [Homebrew][3].
This should eliminate a lot of problems you will run into with `pip`. Yet,
it's still not an isolated installation which may also lead to the same
problems as installing in user space:
```
brew upgrade python
```
