pip
is the package installer for Python and is used to install and manage third-party libraries. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the pip
command to download and install Python third-party libraries.
pip
is installed:Before you can use pip
, you need to ensure that it is installed. Most Python installations come with pip
by default. You can check if pip
is installed and see its version by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:
pip --version
If pip
is not installed or you need to upgrade it, follow the instructions on the official pip documentation.
To install a third-party library using pip
, you can use the install
command followed by the name of the library you want to install. For example, if you want to install the requests
library, run the following command:
pip install requests
This command downloads and installs the latest version of the requests
library and its dependencies.
If you need a specific version of a library, you can use the ==
operator followed by the desired version number. For example, to install version 2.25.1 of the requests
library, run the following command:
pip install requests==2.25.1
To upgrade an already installed library to the latest version, you can use the --upgrade
or -U
option. For example, to upgrade the requests
library, run the following command:
pip install --upgrade requests
To uninstall a library, you can use the uninstall
command followed by the name of the library. For example, to uninstall the requests
library, run the following command:
pip uninstall requests
You will be prompted to confirm the uninstallation. Type y
and press Enter to proceed.
To list all installed libraries and their versions, you can use the list
command:
pip list
In summary, the pip
command is used to download and install Python third-party libraries. You can use pip
to install, upgrade, uninstall, and list libraries and their versions. Before using pip
, make sure it is installed and up-to-date by checking its version with pip --version
