docs: improve clarity on uvx and pipx dependencies#7878
Merged
Conversation
Clarified dependencies by adding information about `uvx` and its relation to `pipx`. Updated installation instructions for `pipx`.
Clarified the installation requirements for `uvx` and `pipx`, emphasizing that `uvx` is recommended and that it is installed with `uv`. Updated wording for better clarity on usage and installation.

| If you have `uv` installed, `uvx` is installed along with it and you don't need to install `pipx` to run the commands containing "pipx:". |

do we actually even use uvx? I think we technically use uv install

Didn't, but since the docs already mention uvx instead of uv install I mentioned it for consistence and to minimize changes.
PS: sorry for the delay answering, and thanks for accepting the PR!

The pipx backend actually runs `uv tool install` under the hood, not `uvx`. Update the documentation to be accurate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The doc itself recognizes the backend being named `pipx` and using `uvx` by default is confusing, and this confuses me in regards to how uvx <-> mise <-> pipx interact, so I keep forgetting and coming back to this doc. Today I realized I don't even need pipx anymore. This is an attempt to improve this part. --------- Co-authored-by: jdx <216188+jdx@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
