 # Droq Math Executor Node
 
-A simple executor node for basic math operations in the Droq workflow engine, using the **dfx (Droqflow Executor)** framework.
+**Droq Math Executor Node** provides a unified interface for mathematical operations in Droq workflows — simplifying workflow automation and computational lifecycle operations.
 
-## dfx Framework
+## 🚀 Installation
 
-The **dfx** framework is a standalone Python framework for building non-Langflow components. It provides:
+### Using UV (Recommended)
 
-- **Component**: Base class for all components
-- **Data**: Data structure for component outputs
-- **Inputs**: `FloatInput`, `IntInput`, `StrInput`
-- **Outputs**: `Output` class for defining component outputs
-- **NATS**: NATS client for stream-based communication
+```bash
+# Install UV
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
 
-## Components
+# Create and install Droq Math Executor Node
+uv init my-math-project && cd my-math-project
+uv add "droq-math-executor-node @ git+ssh://git@github.com/droq-ai/dfx-math-executor-node.git@main"
 
-### DFXMultiplyComponent
+# Verify installation
+uv run droq-math-executor-node --help
+```
 
-A simple component that multiplies two numbers.
+## 🧩 DroqFlow Integration
 
-**Inputs:**
-- `number1` (Float): First number
-- `number2` (Float): Second number
+The Droq Math Executor Node seamlessly integrates with DroqFlow workflows through the **dfx (Droqflow Executor)** framework — a standalone, lightweight Python framework for building non-Langflow components.
 
-**Outputs:**
-- `result` (Data): Product of the two numbers

+# Direct component usage
+component = DFXMultiplyComponent()
+component.number1 = 10.0
+component.number2 = 5.0

+# Installation Guide
+
+This guide covers different ways to install and set up the DFX Math Executor Node.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.8 or higher
+- [UV package manager](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (recommended)
+- NATS server (for local development)
+
+## Option 1: Using UV (Recommended)
+
+### Install UV
+
+```bash
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+### Clone and Install
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/droq-ai/dfx-math-executor-node.git
+cd dfx-math-executor-node
+
+# Install dependencies
+uv sync --all-extras
+
+# Verify installation
+uv run droq-math-executor-node --help
+```
+
+## Option 2: Using the Installation Script
+
+```bash
+# Download and run the installation script
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/droq-ai/dfx-math-executor-node/main/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+## Option 3: From Source with pip
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/droq-ai/dfx-math-executor-node.git
+cd dfx-math-executor-node
+
+# Create virtual environment
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -e .
+
+# Install dev dependencies (optional)
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+## NATS Server Setup
+
+For local development, you'll need a NATS server:
+
+### Option A: Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name nats -p 4222:4222 nats:latest
+```
+
+### Option B: Local Installation
+
+```bash
+# Download NATS
+curl -L https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/releases/latest/download/nats-server-linux-amd64.zip -o nats-server.zip
+unzip nats-server.zip
+./nats-server
+```
+
+### Option C: System Package
+
+```bash
+# On macOS
+brew install nats-server
+
+# On Ubuntu/Debian
+sudo apt-get install nats-server
+```
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+Create a `.env` file based on `.env.example`:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Edit `.env` as needed:
+
+```env
+# NATS Configuration
+NATS_URL=nats://localhost:4222
+STREAM_NAME=droq-stream
+
+# HTTP Client Configuration
+HTTP_TIMEOUT=30
+HTTP_MAX_RETRIES=3
+
+# API Configuration
+API_HOST=0.0.0.0
+API_PORT=8000
+```
+
+## Verify Installation
+
+### Check Service Health
+
+```bash
+# Start the service
+uv run droq-math-executor-node
+
+# In another terminal, check health
+curl http://localhost:8000/health
+```
+
+### Run Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+uv run pytest
+
+# Run with coverage
+uv run pytest --cov=math_executor --cov-report=html
+
+# Run specific test
+uv run pytest tests/test_api.py
+```
+
+### Check Code Quality
+
+```bash
+# Linting
+uv run ruff check .
+
+# Formatting
+uv run ruff format .
+
+# Type checking
+uv run mypy src/math_executor
+```
+
+## Docker Installation
+
+### Build Docker Image
+
+```bash
+docker build -t droq-math-executor-node .
+```
+
+### Run with Docker
+
+```bash
+# Simple run
+docker run -p 8000:8000 droq-math-executor-node
+
+# With NATS
+docker run -p 8000:8000 --env NATS_URL=nats://host.docker.internal:4222 droq-math-executor-node
+
+# With custom configuration
+docker run -p 8000:8000 \
+  --env-file .env \
+  droq-math-executor-node
+```
+
+### Docker Compose
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+services:
+  nats:
+    image: nats:latest
+    ports:
+      - "4222:4222"
+    command: ["-js"]
+
+  math-executor:
+    build: .
+    ports:
+      - "8000:8000"
+    environment:
+      - NATS_URL=nats://nats:4222
+      - STREAM_NAME=droq-stream
+    depends_on:
+      - nats
+```
+
+Run with:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **ImportError: No module named 'math_executor'**
+   - Make sure you're in the project directory
+   - Run `uv sync` to install dependencies
+
+2. **NATS connection failed**
+   - Ensure NATS server is running: `docker run -p 4222:4222 nats:latest`
+   - Check NATS URL in your `.env` file
+
+3. **Port already in use**
+   - Change the port: `uv run droq-math-executor-node 8003`
+   - Or kill the process using the port: `lsof -ti:8000 | xargs kill`
+
+4. **Permission denied on install.sh**
+   - Make it executable: `chmod +x install.sh`
+
