Install for entire system #4

Open ivanlan9 opened 5 years ago

Nice summary, thanks. However, I have apps that are system applications. I'm using setuptools (didn't know about Poetry, I'll look into it), and of course, it's unsatisfactory. Could you cover the scenario where installing as a user defaults to virtual environments, while installing as root means that the app gets installed for everyone (consider how system files such as mime.types could be modified, or cron jobs installed).

Thanks!

You probably want to use pipx.

Yes pipx is the right tool for this. https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx
