pip3: Install a package.
$ pip3 install ${package_name}
try on your machine

The command "pip3 install ${package_name}" is used to install a Python package from the Python Package Index (PyPI) using the pip package manager. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "pip3": It is the command used to interact with the pip package manager. "pip3" is specifically used for Python 3.x versions.

  • "install": It is the pip command used to install packages.

  • "${package_name}": It is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. You should replace it with the actual name of the package you want to install.

To use this command, you need to open a terminal or command prompt and make sure that pip3 is installed and accessible. Then, replace "${package_name}" with the name of the specific Python package you want to install, and execute the command. Pip will download and install the package and all its dependencies automatically.

For example, to install the package "numpy", the command would look like this: "pip3 install numpy".
