> Yeah but you just kick the can to which python happens to be the system python or activated python referenced by “python”. It’s exactly the same problem. Exactly right. And on any sane Linux system the pip command should get you a version compatible with the system Python, which means this is a pointless extra step. Unless these instructions are supposed to be for Windows, or MacOS, in which case it should probably say so. (And doesn't everyone on Windows use Conda anyway?)
