User guide: installing: suggest 'pip' when manually installing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
'setup.py' is deprecated and has issues (see PR #5790). So, switch over
to 'pip' instead. Also, don't list all possible optional plugins, that
easily gets stale, e.g. 'ansible' was missing already. Just give an
example and tell the user where to look for the optional features.
