-**SeedPass** is a secure password generator and manager built on **Bitcoin's BIP-85 standard**. It uses deterministic key derivation to generate **passwords that are never stored**, but can be easily regenerated when needed. By integrating with the **Nostr network**, SeedPass compresses your encrypted vault and splits it into 50 KB chunks. Each chunk is published as a parameterised replaceable event (`kind 30071`), with a manifest (`kind 30070`) describing the snapshot and deltas (`kind 30072`) capturing changes between snapshots. This allows secure password recovery across devices without exposing your data.

 ### Manual Setup
+
 Follow these steps to set up SeedPass on your local machine.
 
-### 1. Clone the Repository
+1. **Clone the Repository**
 
-First, clone the SeedPass repository from GitHub:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/PR0M3TH3AN/SeedPass.git
+   cd SeedPass
+   ```
 
-```bash
+2. **Create a Virtual Environment**
-git clone https://github.com/PR0M3TH3AN/SeedPass.git
-```
 
-Navigate to the project directory:
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   ```
 
-```bash
+3. **Activate the Virtual Environment**
-cd SeedPass
-```
 
-### 2. Create a Virtual Environment
+   - **Linux/macOS:**
+     ```bash
+     source venv/bin/activate
+     ```
+   - **Windows:**
+     ```bash
+     venv\Scripts\activate
+     ```
 
-It's recommended to use a virtual environment to manage your project's dependencies. Create a virtual environment named `venv`:
+4. **Install Dependencies**
 
-```bash
+   ```bash
-python3 -m venv venv
+   python -m pip install --upgrade pip
-```
+   python -m pip install -r src/requirements.txt
-
+   python -m pip install -e .
-### 3. Activate the Virtual Environment
+   ```
-
+// 🔧 merged conflicting changes from codex/locate-command-usage-issue-in-seedpass vs beta
-Activate the virtual environment using the appropriate command for your operating system.
+After reinstalling, run `which seedpass` on Linux/macOS or `where seedpass` on Windows to confirm the command resolves to your virtual environment's `seedpass` executable.
-
-- **On Linux and macOS:**
-
-  ```bash
-  source venv/bin/activate
-  ```
-
-- **On Windows:**
-
-  ```bash
-  venv\Scripts\activate
-  ```
-
-Once activated, your terminal prompt should be prefixed with `(venv)` indicating that the virtual environment is active.
-
-### 4. Install Dependencies
-
-Install the required Python packages and build dependencies using `pip`.
-When upgrading pip, use `python -m pip` inside the virtual environment so that pip can update itself cleanly:
-
-```bash
-python -m pip install --upgrade pip
-python -m pip install -r src/requirements.txt
-python -m pip install -e .
-```
-
-If you previously installed an older version of SeedPass, the `seedpass`
-command might still point to the legacy `main.py` script. Run
-`pip uninstall seedpass` and then reinstall with the command above to
-register the new Typer-based CLI.
