### G4F - Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install G4F from the source code:

1. **Clone the Repository:**

```

- On macOS and Linux:

```bash
source venv/bin/activate
```

5. **Install Minimum Requirements:**

Install the minimum required packages:

```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`:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

7. **Start Using the Repository:**

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:

```python
import g4f
# Your code here
```
