+Local project installs
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+pip supports installing local project in both regular mode and editable mode.
+You can install local projects by specifying the project path to pip::
+
+$ pip install path/to/SomeProject
+
+During regular installation, pip will copy the entire project directory to a temporary location and install from there.
+The exception is that pip will exclude .tox and .nox directories present in the top level of the project from being copied.
