pip install kallithea
+Note that this method requires root privileges. When installing as a regular
+user, you can use::
+
+ pip install --user kallithea
+
+or (recommended) install Kallithea in a virtualenv (next section).
I think we should give a different advice.
In my opinion, pip should only be used inside a virtualenv. Running it
as root is wrong.
I don't know this --user option. How does it work ... if it does work?
I pushed the rest - thanks!
