1. install magic wormhole:
to use magic wormhole, you must first install it. you can do this using pip, python's package installer. open your terminal/command prompt and type:

```bash
pip install magic-wormhole
```

2. basic usage - sending a file:
to send a file using magic wormhole, open your terminal or command prompt and type:

```bash
wormhole send path/to/your/file.ext
```

after executing this command, you'll be given a unique code (e.g., "3-example-grape"). share this code with the recipient who will be using it to receive the file.

3. basic usage - receiving a file:
to receive a file, the recipient should open their terminal or command prompt and type:

```bash

4. usage in python code:
you can also send and receive files using magic wormhole from within a python script. here's an example:

```python
import sys
from wormhole.cli.cmd_send import sendcommand
from wormhole.cli.cmd_receive import receivecommand

filename = "example.txt"
mode = "send"  # you can also use "receive"

if mode == "send":
    sys.argv = ['wormhole', 'send', filename]
    sendcommand().main()
elif mode == "receive":
    sys.argv = ['wormhole', 'receive']
    receivecommand().main()

```

in this example, you can change the `mode` to either 'send' or 'receive' and adjust the `filename` variable as needed.

5. sending a message instead of a file:
