From the issues and INSTALL.md one gets the impression that installation on windows is troublesome. However, the package can be simply installed with pipx on Windows. Since pipx is a solid widely used tool mentioning this option could help.

Hi, sorry for the delay. Mentioning pipx in the documentation makes a lot of sense, but not in README.md; it belongs in INSTALL.md.

I think it make sense to at least mention in the readme that the package is available via pypi.

If you prefer I just keep the info about availability on pypi in README.md and move the hint on pipx to INSTALL.md

I'd rather both were moved to INSTALL.md. For many, they'll install via apt/yum/dnf/brew/pacman/nix/pypi/pipx/etc. Everyone who uses one of these will believe their preference should get special mention, but I see no reason to call out one above the others.

I moved the notes to INSTALL.md - hope it´s fine now.
