pip-install:tldr:1cd47

pip-install: Install packages from an URL or local file archive (.tar.gz | .whl).
$ pip install --find-links ${select}
try on your machine

This command installs a Python package using the pip package installer. The --find-links option is used to specify one or more locations to search for packages to install. The ${select} in this command is likely a placeholder for the actual value of the location or link from where the package should be installed.

So, the command is telling the pip installer to search for the package in the location specified by ${select} and install it. The purpose of using --find-links is to provide an alternative source for the package instead of the default package index.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
