+# Use pipx To Install End User Apps
+
+The [`pipx`](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/) tool is an installer for the python
+ecosystem. It differs from `pip` in that it is for installing end-user
+applications and it does so in isolated environments.
+
+You can install `pipx` with an OS-specific installer like Homebrew:
+
+```bash
+$ brew install pipx
+```
+
+Ensure `pipx`-installed apps are on your path:
+
+```bash
+$ pipx ensurepath
+```
+
+Then use `pipx` to install programs like
+[`cowsay`](https://pypi.org/project/cowsay/) or
+[`llm`](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/setup.html):
+
+```bash
+$ pipx install llm
+
+$ which llm
+/Users/jbranchaud/.local/bin/llm
+
+$ llm --version
+llm, version 0.13.1
+```
