pip as CLI installation option? about azure-docs-cli HOT 7 CLOSED

Specifically, we could link here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/azure-cli

cc @derekbekoe - I'm assuming that we want to continue to leave pip off of the recommended install options?

from azure-docs-cli.

We want to leave it off yes but we always will support installation with pip since it's the defacto Python Package Manager. From our experience, we found it to be an 'advanced' scenario with many people not being familiar with pip, running into issues then blaming the CLI.

But if you want to use pip, that's fine!

@sptramer We could add it and add a note that it's more advanced and the other installers are recommended but seems like users who are familiar with pip would know to use it anyway.

If it causes issues where users mistakenly file bug reports, then it seems worth leaving it off for the time being. Is there anything that could be done to make PyPy the install source of record?

Sure, of course - but it looks kinda disconnected from the community for us to ignore something that people know is the standard.

Unless we're struggling with the mentioned mistaken bug reports, I'd really rather make it clear in the docs we're connected to where the community is.
