If you clone it with git and change into the directory, then "pip install ." will do that.

Sorry I can't for the life of me recommend "sudo pip install" but the installation recommends that, I already raised that as #3066

So until they fix that and rewrite the installation instructions to use a virtualenv, you would use sudo pip install .

Since it is all Python scripts, you could also modify them after regular install. Of course an update would overwrite it, but that is the same with installing from a local clone, unless you raise the version string.
