Review Comment:
   > This is essentially installing the package in non-editable mode, right? 
Maybe mention that explicitly to clarify what the command is exactly doing
   
   Yes, correct. Will do.
   
   > Also, what does the --no-dependencies python do?
   
   Last `python` is a typo. The `--no-dependencies` is something I saw others 
use but didn't bother to double check as it was working locally, sorry about 
that. Running `pip install -h` lists
   
   ```--no-deps                   Don't install package dependencies.```
   
   The dependencies will already be installed in our case so this doesn't 
really have an effect I suppose. Will remove.
