 `sudo apt install python3-*`, and it starts downloading packages via
 `pip`. In our Java projects we have always avoided using package managers
 and only relied on packages provided by the system. We would give up this
 principle here, but are we sure we want to do that? How are we doing this
 in other Python projects at Tor?

 machines vs how we deploy onionperf in Tor.

 That's a good point. For third parties, installation should be quick,
 easy, and work the way it does for other Python tools. For ourselves, we
 do whatever makes the most sense for us – and that doesn't have to be
 documented in the README.md.

 On an unrelated note: I added a commit to my patch set that adds the
 pandas and seaborn requirement:
