What’s the sequence of commands that one is supposed to execute in the new world order where python setup.py install doesn’t work, starting from an sdist, to get the same effect?

python -m build --outdir ${DESTDIR} .

And, if the new procedure depends on having foobuilder or bartools or bazutils outside the cpython-3.x distribution, how is one supposed get those built from sdists first?
