Pip install . isn’t accurate #195

Description

@monsterswithink

The readme file specifically from the root of the cloned project prompts users to run pip install . which throws an error since there’s no toml file to install from. No requirements etc. Please update with proper instructions to cd into backend and run that command. Or better yet set up a requirements and toml file from the actual root. I spent literally hours trying to debug this project and only eventually luckily got it working. The instructions are really bad.

Also very unnecessary having people use pyenv. For people who don’t have that, that causes yet another 1-3hrs of setup, education, and so on only to find out it’s honestly absolutely unnecessary. Keep install instructions basic. Let people do advanced stuff like that if it’s actually necessary or at minimum, helpful. Which I didn’t even find it to be the case.
