Description: # BitGov
        
        BitGov is an application layer protocol built with the Python socket module. It piggybacks on the layer four Transmission Control Protocol ([TCP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol)) in combination with the [IPv4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4) address family.
        
        ## Installation
        
        To use the BitGov protocol in your own application you may use one of the two methods listed below.
        
        ### Conda (recommended)
        
        Assuming you have [Anaconda installed](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/), active the environment in which you want to install the package.
        
        ```
        conda activate <environment>
        ```
        
        If you want to create a new environment first use `conda create --name <environment>` or if you want to see a list of all your conda environments, `conda info --envs`.
        
        Next, install the package.
        
        ```
        conda install -c jgphilpott bitgov
        ```
        
        **Note**: It may be necessary to first add the channel 'jgphilpott'. To do this use `conda config --add channels jgphilpott`. To view a list of all your conda channels, `conda config --get channels`.
        
        All done! You should now be able to see the package listed in your environment, `conda list`.
        
        ### Pip (alternative)
        
        First, navigate into your project directory and active the environment in which you want to install the package.
        
        ```
        source <environment>/bin/activate
        ```
        
        If you want to create a new environment first use `virtualenv <environment>`.
        
        Next, install the package.
        
        ```
        pip install bitgov
        ```
        
        **Note**: If you want to install the package locally and not in any specific environment use `pip install bitgov --user`.
        
        All done! You should now be able to see the package listed in your environment, `pip list`.
        
        ## Usage
        
        To get started with BitGov create a Python file for your application and import the package.
        
        ```
        import bitgov
        ```
        
        That's it!
