re: #10912 (review)
@jzf2101 @Carreau Working in a clean conda environment locally I found that it is necessary to do both a dev install and then add the deps from
docs/requirements.txt. So, this change links to the dev install instructions and then the requirements install.Works for either conda env or venv, but doesn't make sense to me in the debian package manager context, so I took that out (assuming we don't actually want to encourage system-wide installs for dev work - though I guess it's relevant if you are provisioning a VM or building a container, but then you probably don't need to be told, right?)
