pipenv install --system will install Pipfile's contents into the global pip environment. Then I am wondering what is the difference from pip install which also install packages into the global pip environment.
Thanks
"pipenv install --system" == "pip install"

pipenv install --system will install the contents of an existing Pipfile into your global pip environment.
Using the --system option, it won't allow you to specify a specific package.
pip install will give you an error saying you must specify at least one package to install, or you need to point to a requirements.txt file with the -r parameter.
So the difference is pipenv's ability (and requirement) to use an existing Pipfile vs. pip allowing installation of individual packages (or point to a requirements.txt file).
