5. Install Package: To install the package, run pip install -r requirements.txt. We typically keep the package up to date with the latest version. If you need to use a different package version, you can update the requirements.txt file accordingly.

   Alternatively, you can download the whl file for your operating system from the official GroupDocs Releases website. To install the package manually, copy the whl file to the Examples directory and run the following command:

   pip install ./groupdocs_viewer_net-*.whl

6. Configure License (Optional): If you have a license file, you can set the license path in the run_all_examples.py file. By default, GroupDocs.Viewer for Python via .NET checks for the GROUPDOCS_LIC_PATH environment variable or looks for files with the .lic extension in the project's root directory. You can also get a temporary license to test all the features.

7. Run the Examples: To run all the examples, execute the following command:

   python ./run_all_examples.py

   You can also run individual examples by navigating to the folder containing the example script and running it. Output files are placed in the same folder as the script file.
