Installing Packages

Ensure you can run Python from the command line

python3 --version

Ensure you can run pip from the command line

python3 -m pip --version

Ensure pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Optionally, create a virtual environment

python3 -m venv tutorial_env
tutorial_env\Scripts\activate

Creating Virtual Environments

venv is available by default in Python 3.3 and later, and installs pip and setuptools into created virtual environments in Python 3.4 and later

Managing multiple virtual environments directly can become tedious, so the dependency management tutorial introduces a higher level tool, Pipenv, that automatically manages a separate virtual environment for each project and application that you work on

Installing from PyPI

python3 -m pip install "SomeProject~=1.4.2"

Source Distributions vs Wheels

Wheels are a pre-built distribution format that provides faster installation compared to Source Distributions (sdist), especially when a project contains compiled extensions.

Upgrading packages

py -m pip install --upgrade SomeProject

Installing from a local src tree

py -m pip install -e <path>
