Arch doesn't let you use pip install outside a virtual environment without passing --break-system-packages and directs you to use a venv when you try, so I figured it would be fine not to mention it. Not very good reasoning, I know. Using a venv is indeed much better practice.

I intend to include some setup scripts for Linux which automatically create a venv for Edgeware and use it to run it.
