As the footnoted reference says, If you install from Git, you can get the latest development versions. What it does not say is that the latest development version is usually not in the "master" branch of the git repository. It is usually in the "devel" branch. If you don't know Git a bit - so that you can switch the branch - or don't want to fuss with learning about it, you might as well not bother. Also, installing with pip sets up some things that simply running from a Git clone does not. This could explain some of the error messages, if you get them using the Git clone and not using the pip installation. (These messages are harmless, mostly about missing test-related components).
