Is it possible to install packages using pip from the local filesystem?
I have run python setup.py sdist
for my package, which has created the appropriate tar.gz file. This file is stored on my system at /srv/pkg/mypackage/mypackage-0.1.0.tar.gz
.
Now in a virtual environment I would like to install packages either coming from pypi or from the specific local location /srv/pkg
.
Is this possible?
PS I know that I can specify pip install /srv/pkg/mypackage/mypackage-0.1.0.tar.gz
. That will work, but I am talking about using the /srv/pkg
location as another place for pip to search if I typed pip install mypackage
.
To install a package that includes a setup.py file, open a command or terminal window and: cd into the root directory where setup.py is located. Enter: python setup.py install.
Install the downloaded package into a local directory : python get-pip.py --user This will install pip to your local directory (. local/bin) . Now you may navigate to this directory (cd . local/bin) and then use pip or better set your $PATH variable this directory to use pip anywhere : PATH=$PATH:~/.
As long as your virtual environment is activated pip will install packages into that specific environment and you'll be able to import and use packages in your Python application.
What about::
pip install --help ... -e, --editable <path/url> Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.
eg, pip install -e /srv/pkg
where /srv/pkg is the top-level directory where 'setup.py' can be found.
I am pretty sure that what you are looking for is called --find-links
option.
You can do
pip install mypackage --no-index --find-links file:///srv/pkg/mypackage
