Notes

If you have specified the --silent (-s for short) flag, part way through the tool will behave like a wizard, prompting you for input.

The tool will ask you if you want to install locally, globally, or not at all:

• locally - pip install each repository
• globally - pip install each repository with the -g flag. This may require sudo, which may have undesired side effects.
• not at all - doesn't pip/npm install anything
