+## How to use pipx to avoid python package conflicts?
+
+If you are using aider to work on a python project, sometimes your project will require
+specific versions of python packages which conflict with the versions that aider
+requires.
+If this happens, the `pip install` command may return errors like these:
+
+```
+aider-chat 0.23.0 requires somepackage==X.Y.Z, but you have somepackage U.W.V which is incompatible.
+```
+
+You can avoid this problem by installing aider using `pipx`,
+which will install it globally on your system
+within its own python environment.
+This way you can use aider to work on any python project,
+even if that project has conflicting dependencies.
+
+See the pipx docs for how to install pipx:
+
+https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/
+
+Then just do:
+
+```
+pipx install aider
+```
