-3. **(Optional) Create a Python Virtual Environment:**
+---
-It's recommended to isolate your project dependencies. You can follow the [Python official documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html) for virtual environments.
+## Prerequisites
-```bash
-python3 -m venv venv
-```
+Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:
+- Git
+- Python 3.7 or higher
+- pip (Python package installer)
-4. **Activate the Virtual Environment:**
-
-- On Windows:
+## Installation Steps
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+**Open your terminal and run the following command to clone the G4F repository:**
```bash
-.\venv\Scripts\activate
+git clone https://github.com/xtekky/gpt4free.git
```
-- On macOS and Linux:
+### 2. Navigate to the Project Directory
+**Change to the project directory:**
+```bash
+cd gpt4free
+```
+### 3. Set Up a Python Virtual Environment (Recommended)
+**It's best practice to use a virtual environment to manage project dependencies:**
```bash
-source venv/bin/activate
+python3 -m venv venv
```
-5. **Install Minimum Requirements:**
+### 4. Activate the Virtual Environment
+**Activate the virtual environment based on your operating system:**
+- **Windows:**
+ ```bash
+ .\venv\Scripts\activate
+ ```
-Install the minimum required packages:
+- **macOS and Linux:**
+ ```bash
+ source venv/bin/activate
+ ```
+### 5. Install Dependencies
+**You have two options for installing dependencies:**
+
+#### Option A: Install Minimum Requirements
+**For a lightweight installation, use:**
```bash
pip install -r requirements-min.txt
```
-6. **Or Install All Packages from `requirements.txt`:**
-
-If you prefer, you can install all packages listed in `requirements.txt`:
-
+#### Option B: Install All Packages
+**For a full installation with all features, use:**
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
-7. **Start Using the Repository:**
-
+### 6. Verify Installation
You can now create Python scripts and utilize the G4F functionalities. Here's a basic example:
-Create a `test.py` file in the root folder and start using the repository:
-
+**Create a `g4f-test.py` file in the root folder and start using the repository:**
```python
import g4f
# Your code here
```
-[Return to Home](/) \ No newline at end of file
+## Usage
+**After installation, you can start using G4F in your Python scripts. Here's a basic example:**
+```python
+import g4f
+
+# Your G4F code here
+# For example:
+from g4f.client import Client
+
+client = Client()
+
+response = client.chat.completions.create(
+ model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
+ messages=[
+ {
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": "Say this is a test"
+ }
+ ]
+ # Add any other necessary parameters
+)
+
+print(response.choices[0].message.content)
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+**If you encounter any issues during installation or usage:**
+ 1. Ensure all prerequisites are correctly installed.
+ 2. Check that you're in the correct directory and the virtual environment is activated.
+ 3. Try reinstalling the dependencies.
+ 4. Consult the [G4F documentation](https://github.com/xtekky/gpt4free) for more detailed information.
