I was advised to use pip install module-name -t /path/to/project-dir
, but I did not understand what the t
flag is for. Can someone help me?
The --user flag to pip install tells Pip to install packages in some specific directories within your home directory. This is a good way to have your own default Python environment that adds to the packages within your system directories, and therefore, does not affect the system Python installation.
Install the latest version of a package: Once you have identified the outdated packages using the pip list -o command, use the following command to install the latest version of the package. -U flag stands for update.
To check if PIP is already installed on Windows, we should open the command line again, type pip , and press Enter . If PIP is installed, we will receive a long notification explaining the program usage, all the available commands and options.
The pip list command returns the list of packages in the current environment. It also returns the installed version for each package. Packages are listed in a case-insensitive sorted order. pip list returns a list of all packages.
From the manual:
-t, --target <dir> Install packages into <dir>. By default this will not replace existing files/folders in <dir>. Use --upgrade to replace existing packages in <dir> with new versions.
At the time of writing, OP has 4 thumbs down because the question was worded in granular manner not indicative of the real problem, paraphrased below:
"Why does the --help option not display all possible flags that the pip command supports, and their usages?"
Answer: More are covered in the manual page link that user:plaes provided, such as "-r" for requirements.
