## Virtual Environment (Recommended)

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

```bash
# Create virtual environment
python -m venv nomyo_env

# Activate virtual environment
source nomyo_env/bin/activate  # On Linux/Mac
# or
nomyo_env\Scripts\activate     # On Windows

# Install nomyo
pip install nomyo
```

## Verify Installation

To verify the installation worked correctly:

```python
import nomyo
print("NOMYO client installed successfully!")
```

## Development Installation

For development purposes, you can install the package in development mode:

```bash
pip install -e .[dev]
```

This will install additional development dependencies.
