It is possible that your shell is interpreting the brackets -- putting quotes around it might work: pip install "matrix-synapse[all]"

Otherwise I'm not sure what could be causing this as the options definitely exist. Are there longer logs? Maybe try including the --verbose option?

Sometimes you don't see the wood for the trees.. 😆 without escaping, [ is a candidate for filename substitution in csh/tcsh. Thank you!

Glad that worked! I put up a pull request (#9151) to make the documentation clearer.

This can not hurt in any case! 💯
