source .venv/bin/activate   # macOS / Linux
.venv\Scripts\activate      # Windows (PowerShell)

# Install pykabu
uv pip install pykabu

# Install browser for market index feature
playwright install chromium

Alternative: pip + venv

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv

# Activate it
source .venv/bin/activate   # macOS / Linux
.venv\Scripts\activate      # Windows (PowerShell)

# Install pykabu
pip install pykabu

# Install browser for market index feature
playwright install chromium
