Description Gustav Schaffter 2023-02-25 08:35:21 UTC
When an ordinary user runs:
'pip3 install <some python script>'
pip3 will tell the user to add the '--user' flag to install specifically for the user and not system-wide.

'pip3 -h' doesn't document this flag.
'man pip3' doesn't find any man page.
'man pip' doesn't find any man page.

So, the '--user' flag to pip3 is not documented in our system.

It probably should.
