Installation

To clarify the installation process for X3 using pip, you can follow these steps:

1. Open a Terminal or Command Prompt: Depending on your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux), open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Ensure Python and pip are installed: X3 is a Python package, so you need to have Python installed on your system. You can check if Python is installed by running:

   python --version

   If Python is installed, you'll see the version number. If not, you need to install Python first. Additionally, pip typically comes bundled with Python installations, but you can also check if it's installed by running:

   pip --version

   If it's not installed, you need to install pip as well.

3. Install X3 using pip: Once you have Python and pip installed, you can install X3 by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

   pip install x3

4. Wait for the installation to complete: Pip will download and install the X3 package along with its dependencies. This process may take some time depending on your internet connection speed and system specifications.

5. Verify the installation: After the installation is complete, you can verify that X3 is installed correctly by running:

   x3 --version

   This command should output the version number of X3, confirming that it's installed on your system.

Once you've completed these steps, you have successfully installed X3 on your system using pip. You can now proceed with setting up your development environment and exploring the capabilities of X3 for building decentralized applications (DApps).
