That's almost true.
The issue is that there are 2 `setup.py` files:
- /IBM/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio2211/python/setup.py
- /IBM/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio2211/cplex/python/3.10/x64_win64/
The `pip install .` works for the second one, but not the first.
The docs should be cleared up on this matter.

Hi Irv,
`pip install . ` does the job without complaint.
Since setuptools CLI is no longer maintained, the use of 'pip' is recommended by the Python community

I created a new python environment using python 3.10. Using the full blown CPLEX 22.1.1.0, which we have as a business partner (i.e., not the community edition). To install the python libraries, I do `python setup.py install`. Then I get this wonderful message:
********************************************************************************
Please avoid running ``setup.py`` directly.
Instead, use pypa/build, pypa/installer or other
standards-based tools.
See https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html for details.
********************************************************************************
The installation seems to work, but is there a better way to do the installation to avoid this message?
