I looked up how to install multiple packages from a requirements document using pip. The answers were mostly:
pip install -r requirements.txt
What does the -r

Requirements files serve as a list of items to be installed by pip, when using pip install. Files that use this format are often called “pip requirements. txt files”, since requirements. txt is usually what these files are named (although, that is not a requirement).
Instead of pip --help
, look into pip install --help
:
-r, --requirement Install from the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.
Also see these documentation paragraphs:
pip install
-r
will search for requirement file.
pip install --help
will help you !!
