It's difficult to install proxmove if you're not a python developer. I'm case in point. I am pretty experienced with Linux, Proxmox, bash and more, but I'm not a dev. Digging around trying to figure out what to do to get proxmove operational, is a mission.

Could someone write up a brief "How to get started" with proxmove please?

I'm not sure you much Python you need to know.

You need a Python3 interpreter. And you'll need the Proxmoxer library.

On Debian/Ubuntu systems, this could be:

apt install python3 python3-proxmoxer

If you don't have it in your OS package manager, you'll likely want pip or pip3. How to install that is beyond the scope. But once you have it, you can do:

pip install proxmoxer

But you could install it manually as well, assuming you have Python3 by now:
https://pypi.org/project/proxmoxer/#files
Get the latest version, unpack it, and run python3 setup.py install
(Note that using pip is preferred over the manual install.)

After that, you'll need proxmove itself. Least hassle might be to just curl the latest version from github. It's a single file.
