Description

Add something like what we do for the rio, maybe with some builtin profiles so it has the right flags? It would just be a wrapper around pip download.

Hm. I guess you could extend the installer to install to a PI also. That's probably not worth the extra effort, but the download step is annoying enough that it probably is.

Research direction

The issue names the existing rio download flow, the installer, and pip download but no files or tests. Start by locating the rio handling and installer entry point, then determine how ARM/PI profiles should supply download flags; done means a download helper supports the requested profiles without requiring manual pip arguments.
