## Caveats
* **Do not** mix source installation with binary packages. Remove one completely before installing the other
* Current versions of xpra require python3, for python2 use the 3.x LTS branch - see [versions](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/wiki/Versions)
* the last step installs xpra's own scripts, replacing the unusable ones mangled by setuptools
