+After cloning the project, navigate into its working directory and create a self-contained Python [virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/#creating-and-using-virtual-environments). Traditionally you would do that using the following command. Unfortunately, TrueNAS SCALE has [left out](https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-130029) a necessary library from the base installation and *this command will fail:*
 
-    python3 -m venv --no-setuptools .venv
+    python3 -m venv .venv
 
-> *Note: Due to [NAS-130029](https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-130029), the user's safe working Python environment can only be bootstrapped from TrueNAS SCALE's [developer mode](https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/scaletutorials/systemsettings/advanced/developermode/), or in a jail or elsewhere. If you like to take long walks with strangers, the following might suffice as an alternative to the above one-liner.*

-> curl -L https://github.com/brettcannon/microvenv/archive/refs/tags/v2023.5.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1 microvenv-2023.5/microvenv
-> python3 -m microvenv
-> curl -OL https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/pip.pyz
-> .venv/bin/python3 pip.pyz install virtualenv
-> .venv/bin/virtualenv --no-setuptools .venv
-> rm -rf microvenv pip.pyz
-> ```
+The following workaround should accomplish the same task in more steps.
+```
+python3 -m venv --without-pip .venv
+curl -OL https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/pip.pyz
+.venv/bin/python3 pip.pyz install pip
+rm pip.pyz
+```
 *Note: This process and the resulting build environment will cache some items under `~/.local/share` in addition to the project directory.*
 
 Activate the venv into your *current* shell session.

 ### Hatching a build
 
-While in an *active* session, install the [Hatch](https://hatch.pypa.io) project manager. This will load quite a flurry of dependencies, but will only do so into the new `.venv` directory.
