[DOCS] Improve installation process
Hello,
While working with the pykan
project, I noticed some opportunities to enhance the installation guidelines, which could benefit users, particularly those new to Python development. I would like to propose a few changes aimed at simplifying the setup process and promoting the use of best practices for managing Python environments.
Current Installation Process
The current guidelines in the README involve:
- Cloning the repository
- Navigating to the directory
- Installing the package with
pip
Proposed Enhancements
- Streamline Installation Commands: Combine the cloning and installation steps into a single command to simplify the process:
pip install git+https://github.com/KindXiaoming/pykan.git
- Guide on Virtual Environment Setup: Add instructions for setting up a Python virtual environment, which helps in isolating and managing dependencies:
python -m venv pykan-env
source pykan-env/bin/activate # On Windows, use `pykan-env\Scripts\activate`
- Optional Conda Environment Setup: Provide guidelines for users who prefer Conda:
conda create --name pykan-env python=3.9.7
conda activate pykan-env
These changes aim to make the installation process more straightforward and robust, minimizing potential dependency conflicts and enhancing the user experience.
I am eager to hear your thoughts on these suggestions and would be happy to collaborate on refining them further.
