Isolated installation via uv

This method uses uv to install and run the program.

This installation method is preferred if you want to install the program on a specific folder of your choice (e.g., Documents folder) so that all of the installation and opening of the program only happens there.

If you also write scripts to download live streams, this is also the recommended installation.

Requirements

Windows or Linux
Python v3.10 or greater
FFmpeg
uv
Git (optional)

Steps

Install Python 3.10.0 or above. For Windows users, ensure Add Python x.x to PATH is checked.
Install FFmpeg. For Windows users, follow this guide for proper installation.
Open your command-line.
Install uv through pip command or via Standalone installer.
```
pip install uv
```
Choose a location to store the program's data or source code, and create a folder there (e.g., create a folder named tk3u8 inside your Documents directory).
Initialize the created folder with the following command.
```
uv init --app
```
This will create some stuff needed to isolate the installation of dependencies to this folder.
Install the latest published stable release of tk3u8 by adding it as a dependency.
```
uv add tk3u8
```
Alternatively, if you want to get the latest published pre-release version, run this command instead.
```
uv add --prerelease allow tk3u8
```
Or if you want to get the most recent update without having to wait for official pre-release, choose this one instead.
```
uv add git+https://github.com/Scoofszlo/tk3u8
```
Warning

Installing pre-release versions is discouraged as I don't guaranteed them to be stable enough. Although there are testing done for these versions, it is still better if you install the latest stable instead.
Run the program.
```
uv run tk3u8 -v
```
When stable release is installed properly, the output should look like this:
```
tk3u8 v0.4.0
```

Updating tk3u8

To update tk3u8, run the following command.

uv lock -P tk3u8
