🛠️ How to Install the ThermoFlex™ API

To get started, you'll need to install the thermoflex Python package using pip — Python’s package installer.

Step 1: Open a terminal

Depending on your operating system:

  • Windows: Search for “Command Prompt” or “PowerShell” in the Start Menu

  • macOS: Use Spotlight (Cmd + Space) and search for “Terminal”

  • Linux: You already know where the terminal is.

💡 Tip: If you’re working inside a virtual environment (like venv or conda), make sure it’s activated first.

Step 2: Type this command

pip install thermoflex

Then hit Enter.

You should see pip download and install the package. When it finishes, you’ll be ready to start importing and using the API in your Python scripts or notebooks.

✅ That’s all you need to get the ThermoFlex API on your system.
