Installation Guide for Framework3¶

This guide will walk you through the process of installing Framework3 using pip.

Prerequisites¶

Before installing Framework3, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

Python 3.11 or higher
pip (Python package installer)

Installation¶

Installing Framework3 is straightforward using pip. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Set Up a Virtual Environment (Recommended)¶

It's recommended to use a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with other Python projects:

python -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment:

On Windows:
```
venv\Scripts\activate
```
On macOS and Linux:
```
source venv/bin/activate
```

Step 2: Install Framework3¶

Install Framework3 directly from PyPI using pip:

pip install framework3

This command will install the latest stable version of Framework3 and all its dependencies.

Verify Installation¶

To verify that Framework3 is installed correctly, you can run a simple Python script:

from framework3 import __version__

print(f"Framework3 version: {__version__}")

If this runs without errors and prints the version number, the installation was successful.

Updating Framework3¶

To update Framework3 to the latest version, simply run:

pip install --upgrade framework3

Troubleshooting¶

If you encounter any issues during installation:

Ensure your Python version is 3.11 or higher.
Make sure pip is up to date: pip install --upgrade pip
If you're using a virtual environment, ensure it's activated when installing and using Framework3.

For more detailed error messages, you can use the verbose mode when installing:

pip install -v framework3
