It is possible to install rez with pip, like so (from source root directory):

```
]$ pip install rez
]$ pip install --target /opt/rez .

The environment variables to activate `rez` will be slightly different:

- Add `/opt/rez/bin` to `PATH`
- Add `/opt/rez` to `PYTHONPATH`

you can then install `rez` as a `rez` package by using:

]$ rez-pip --install .

However, these methods comes with a caveat - rez command line tools _are not
guaranteed to work correctly_ once inside a rez environment (ie after using the
