pip-install: Install the local package in the current directory in develop (editable) mode.

$ pip install --editable ${-}

try on your machine

The command pip install --editable is used to install a Python package in an editable mode.

When a package is installed in editable mode, it means that the package will be installed in such a way that any changes made to the package's source code will immediately take effect and be reflected when using the package. This is useful during development when you may need to make frequent changes to a package's code.

In the command pip install --editable ${-}, the ${-} is a placeholder for specifying the path to the package's source code. You need to replace ${-} with the actual path. For example, if the source code of the package is in a directory called "my_package", you would use pip install --editable my_package to install it in editable mode.
