Emre Değirmenci 82c078bb3a docs: clarify that release tags keep the leading v prefix (#3463)
Readers were replacing vX.Y.Z with bare versions like 0.12.11,
which fails because git tags are named v0.12.11.

# Installing with pipx
[pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/) is a tool for installing Python CLI applications in isolated environments. It does not require [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/).
## Install Specify CLI
Pin a specific release tag for stability (check [Releases](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases) for the latest):
```bash
# Install a specific stable release (recommended — replace vX.Y.Z with the
# latest tag, keeping the leading v, e.g. v0.12.11 not 0.12.11)
pipx install git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git@vX.Y.Z
# Or install latest from main (may include unreleased changes)
pipx install git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
```
## Verify
```bash
specify version
```
## Upgrade
```bash
pipx install --force git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git@vX.Y.Z
```
## Uninstall
```bash
pipx uninstall specify-cli
```
