To enable installation of hostman using pipx install hostman, several steps need to be taken. Here's a checklist of tasks that need to be completed, formatted for a GitHub issue:

### Steps to enable `pipx install hostman`

* [ ] **Create a `setup.py` file**: Ensure that the repository contains a `setup.py` file to define the installation requirements and entry points for the `hostman` package.
* [ ] **Publish the package to PyPI**: Publish the `hostman` package to the Python Package Index (PyPI) so that it can be installed via `pipx`. This involves creating an account on PyPI, building the package, and uploading it.
* [ ] **Add an entry point for the CLI**: Ensure that the `setup.py` file includes an entry point for the `hostman` command-line interface (CLI). This allows `pipx` to install and run the `hostman` CLI tool.
* [ ] **Test the installation with `pipx`**: After publishing the package to PyPI, test the installation using `pipx` to ensure that the tool works correctly when installed this way.
* [ ] **Update documentation**: Update the repository's documentation to include instructions for installing `hostman` using `pipx`.
* [ ] **Release version**: Make sure to tag the release version in GitHub and update the version number in the `setup.py` file accordingly.

### Example `setup.py` file

```python
from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name='hostman',
    version='0.1.0',
    packages=find_packages(),
    install_requires=[
        # List dependencies here
    ],
    entry_points={
        'console_scripts': [
            'hostman=hostman.cli:main',  # Adjust based on actual CLI implementation
        ],
    },
)

Example commands to publish to PyPI

1. Build the package:

   python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
   

2. Upload to PyPI:

   twine upload dist/*
   

Testing with pipx
