Description

Upgrading wheel, setuptools, and pip before installing other requirements can avert some environment issues. We can do this with a separate requirements.txt file that does something like pip install -U wheel setuptools pip (but with pins) and adding something like make setup as a pre-install step.

Thanks @ibushong for the tip here!

Research direction

Start by locating the dependency installation flow and determining where the proposed separate requirements.txt and make setup entry point belong. Confirm the pinned wheel, setuptools, and pip versions are upgraded before other requirements are installed, then verify the setup flow in a clean environment.
