bdist_xar doesn't install dependencies by default, but if you're missing a dependency it will prompt you to pass the --download flag, which loads the pip entry point to download (but not install) the missing dependencies as wheels or sdists. Its currently disabled by default because it was merged a day before release, but I intend on enabling it by default.
