## Installation With pipx
You *can* use the `pipx` tool to install Sideband in an isolated environment, but on Linux you will have to launch Sideband from the command line, or create your own launcher links, since `pipx` does not support desktop integration. Unfortunately, it does not seem like `pipx` will be adding desktop integration in the near future, so restoring the original `pip` tool to its proper behaviour is recommended for now.

While I wouldn't generally recommend it, you *can* use the `pipx` tool to install Sideband, but on Linux you will have to launch Sideband from the command line, or create your own launcher links, since `pipx` does not support desktop integration.
