It would be good to also mention how to update to latest release if
bitbake-setup is already installed (bitbake-setup will evolve with new
features and there may be failures due to outdated installations from
pip):

$ pip install -U bitbake-setup
(pip does not have a separate command for package updates
unfortunately, so it's not intuitive).

The bitbake-setup chapter in bitbake manual needs similar fixes I think?
