## Summary This meta-PR includes some suggestions for the docs on installing into arbitrary Python environments. It targets the branch in #4031 and is a response to #3951 (comment). Specifically, it: - Moves mention of `--python=$(which python)` out of the `--system` paragraph, as the two are no longer equivalent - Adds additional notes on how, currently, to install for the current interpreter. This section should be updated once #4009 is implemented :)

This is confusing because --system is required for this now, right?

No, if it's explicit (i.e. that path to the executable or its directory) we do not require the --system flag.
