## 🎯 Next Steps to Deploy

### Option 1: Deploy to PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
# 1. Create PyPI account (if needed)
# Visit: https://pypi.org/account/register/

# 2. Create API token
# Visit: https://pypi.org/manage/account/
# Copy token to ~/.pypirc or environment variable

# 3. Test upload to TestPyPI first (optional but recommended)
python -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

# 4. Upload to production PyPI
python -m twine upload dist/*

# 5. Install from PyPI
pip install py-wikijs

# Done! Package is now publicly available
```

### Option 2: Keep Gitea-Only (Current Strategy)

```bash
# Users install directly from Git
pip install git+https://github.com/l3ocho/py-wikijs.git

# Or specific version/branch
pip install git+https://github.com/l3ocho/py-wikijs.git@v0.1.0
```

## 🎓 What We Fixed

### Issue 1: Missing Files in Distribution ❌→✅
**Problem**: requirements.txt and docs not included in source distribution
**Solution**: Created MANIFEST.in with proper includes
**Result**: All necessary files now packaged

### Issue 2: Missing Email Validation Dependency ❌→✅
**Problem**: ImportError for email-validator when using User model
**Solution**: Changed `pydantic>=1.10.0` to `pydantic[email]>=1.10.0`
**Result**: Email validation works correctly

### Issue 3: No Deployment Documentation ❌→✅
**Problem**: No guide for building and publishing package
**Solution**: Created comprehensive docs/deployment.md
**Result**: Clear step-by-step deployment instructions

### Issue 4: No Version Compatibility Documentation ❌→✅
**Problem**: Users don't know which Wiki.js versions are supported
**Solution**: Created docs/compatibility.md with version matrix
**Result**: Clear compatibility information

## 📦 PyPI vs Gitea-Only

### PyPI Benefits
- ✅ Simple installation: `pip install py-wikijs`
- ✅ Better discoverability
- ✅ Automatic dependency resolution
- ✅ Version management
- ✅ Download statistics
- ✅ Professional presentation

### Gitea-Only Benefits
- ✅ Full control
- ✅ No PyPI account needed
- ✅ Direct from source
- ✅ Development versions
- ✅ Private distribution

### Recommendation
**Use both!**
- PyPI for stable releases (v0.1.0, v0.2.0, etc.)
- Gitea for development versions and direct installs
