🎯 Next Steps to Deploy

Option 1: Deploy to PyPI (Recommended)

# 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)

# 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

📦 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
