[IPython-dev] Trouble installing IPython3 into dist-packages

I followed the installation instruction on
https://github.com/ipython/ipython, but used

pip3 install -e ".[notebook]"

(i.e. without --user).

However, it doesn't install IPython into the system dist-packages directory
(/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages). If I run IPython and try to locate the
module file, it points to my user's IPython directory
(/home/dongta/ipython/IPython).

Why is that and how can I install into the system dist-packages so that
other users can use it?

Thank you very much.
