## Installation Methods

### Method 1: Local Development Install (Recommended for Testing)

```bash
cd ~/Work/mkdocs-material-ekgf
uv sync
```

### Method 2: From Git Repository (For Team)

```bash
pip install git+file:///Users/jgeluk/Work/mkdocs-material-ekgf
```

### Method 3: From PyPI (Recommended for Production)

```bash
pip install mkdocs-material-ekgf
```

## How to Use

1. Install the package using one of the methods above.

1. Update your `mkdocs.yml` to include the plugin:

```yaml
plugins:
  - material-ekgf
  - search
```

The plugin automatically configures the theme, sets the `custom_dir`,
and injects all necessary assets.

## Next Steps

### Immediate (Testing Phase)

1. **Test Installation**: Install package in a test environment
2. **Test with ekg-principles**: Ensure no regressions
3. **Test with ekg-method**: Verify improvements
4. **Document Issues**: Note any problems in GitHub Issues

### Short-term (Refinement)

1. **Fix Any Issues**: Address bugs found during testing
2. **Add Examples**: Create example site demonstrating all features
3. **CI/CD**: Set up GitHub Secrets for PyPI publishing

### Medium-term (Distribution)

1. **Push to GitHub**: Create EKGF/mkdocs-material-ekgf repository
2. **Publish to PyPI**: Tag a release (e.g., `v1.0.0`) to trigger GHA
3. **Migrate Sites**: Roll out to all EKGF documentation sites
