Hello all, I have a question regarding the installation. I am following the instructions at section

Installing Without Docker on Ubuntu 22.04 (Advanced Users)

I know my way arround ubuntu fairly well. My confusion is (A) Do we need

python3 -m pip install glayout

after

sudo ./dependencies.sh

? or dependencies install everything? I prefer not to mess with system python. (B) On the inspection of dependency, can I have a Conda env file instead of this? (if Yes, I would like to help expanding this instruction set (for advanced users) into separation of python package installs and linux package installs). Having the dependencies.sh is good but a linux user might want to do this separately ) (C) Should I go with Python 3.12 or 3.11? Its been my experience not everything is caught up with 3.12 Sorry if I am repeating any question asked previously

If you would like a non-interfering install, the containerised docker install should be perfect for you. 1. The glayout pypi package is by default installed in the docker image, but not with the dependencies script 2. Should you choose to go with

dependencies.sh

build, you can manually install tools into a conda-env by referring to how the script installs them 3. 3.11 and 12 should both work, reach out if you're facing issues. 3.10 is the one we prefer to use in CI checks so we recommend that
