This command is used to install a specific version of a Python package using pip, the package installer for Python. Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • pip install: This is the basic command to install packages using pip.
  • ${package_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. Replace it with the actual name of the package you want to install.
  • ==: This is a comparison operator in Python. It is used here to specify the version of the package.
  • ${package_version}: This is a placeholder for the specific version of the package you want to install. Replace it with the actual version number you want to install.

By using this command, pip will download and install the specified version of the package you mentioned. It is useful when you need to install or downgrade to a specific version of a package, ensuring compatibility with other dependencies or software requirements.
