How do I install referencing in Python?

The standard way to install referencing is by running `python -m pip install referencing`. If you are using Anaconda, use `conda install -c conda-forge referencing`.

Why causes the 'No module named referencing' error?

This error occurs when the python interpreter cannot locate the `referencing` package. It is often caused by missing installation or environment mismatch (e.g. installing in global but running in venv).
