pip-install: Install packages listed in a file.
$ pip install --requirement ${path-to-requirements-txt}
try on your machine

The command "pip install --requirement" is used to install multiple Python packages listed in a requirements.txt file.

Here's how the command works in detail:

  • "pip" refers to the package installer for Python. It is a command-line tool that allows you to install, uninstall, and manage Python packages.
  • "install" is a command used with pip to install packages.
  • "--requirement" is a flag specifying that the following argument is a requirements file.
  • "${path-to-requirements-txt}" is a placeholder representing the path to the requirements.txt file on your system. You need to replace it with the actual file path.

In summary, the command "pip install --requirement ${path-to-requirements-txt}" tells pip to read the specified requirements.txt file and install all the packages listed in it. This is helpful when you want to install multiple packages at once rather than installing them individually.
