+# Working with uv
+
+`uv` is a Python package and project manager. It is extremely fast, compared with alternatives.
+
+
+## Installing 
+
+On Windows, you can install `uv` using Powershell:
+
+```
+$ powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
+```
+
+More info on other installation options can be found on the [uv docs](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
+
+To update uv:
+
+```
+$ uv self update
+```
+
+
+## Starting a new project
+
+Starting a project with `uv`:
+
+```
+$ uv init project_name
+```
+
+`uv` creates a new directory called `project_name` and sets up a few project files. You can then enter the project folder.
+
+```
+$ cd project_name
+```
+
+Note: If you already have a project folder you can ask `uv` to initialize the project there:
+
+```
+$ cd project_name
+$ uv init
+```
+
+When starting a new project you can specify the Python version using:
+
+```
+$ uv init project_name --python 3.11
+```
+
+## Installing packages
+
+To add packages:
+
+```
+$ cd project_name
+$ uv add requests flask
+```
+
+Working with development dependencies:
+
+```
+$ uv add --dev black
+$ uv run black path\to\file.py
+```
+
+## Deploying
+
+Deploying the project to production excluding dev dependencies:
+
+```
+$ uv sync --no-dev
+```
