## Installation

### 1. Clone the repository

\`\`\`bash
git clone https://github.com/username/project-name.git
cd project-name
\`\`\`

### 2. Install dependencies

\`\`\`bash
# For Python projects
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# For Node.js projects
npm install

# For Go projects
go mod download
\`\`\`

### 3. Configure environment

\`\`\`bash
# Copy example environment file
cp .env.example .env

# Edit .env with your configuration
# Required variables:
#   DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost/dbname
#   API_KEY=your_api_key_here
\`\`\`

### 4. Initialize database (if applicable)

\`\`\`bash
# Run migrations
npm run migrate
# Or: python manage.py migrate
# Or: make migrate
\`\`\`

### 5. Verify installation

\`\`\`bash
# Run tests to verify setup
npm test
# Or: pytest
# Or: go test ./...
\`\`\`

## Usage

### Running the application

\`\`\`bash
# Development mode with hot reload
npm run dev

# Production mode
npm start

# With custom port
PORT=8080 npm start
\`\`\`

The application will be available at `http://localhost:3000`

### Basic operations

**Create a new resource**:
\`\`\`bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/resources \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "example", "value": 42}'
\`\`\`

**List all resources**:
\`\`\`bash
curl http://localhost:3000/api/resources
\`\`\`

## Usage

### Basic example

\`\`\`python
from project_name import Client

# Initialize client
client = Client(api_key="your_key")

# Perform operation
result = client.fetch_data(query="example")
print(result)
\`\`\`

### Advanced usage

\`\`\`python
# With custom configuration
client = Client(
    api_key="your_key",
    timeout=30,
    retry_count=3
)

# Batch operations
results = client.batch_fetch([
    {"query": "item1"},
    {"query": "item2"}
])
\`\`\`

## Usage

### Basic commands

\`\`\`bash
# Show help
project-cli --help

# Run with default options
project-cli process input.txt

# Run with custom options
project-cli process input.txt --output result.txt --verbose
\`\`\`

### Common workflows

**Workflow 1: Data processing**
\`\`\`bash
# Step 1: Validate input
project-cli validate data.csv

# Step 2: Process data
project-cli process data.csv --format json

# Step 3: Export results
project-cli export results.json --format pdf
