pipx: Install a package in a virtual environment with pip arguments.
$ pipx install --pip-args='${pip-args}' ${package}
try on your machine

This command is using the "pipx" tool to install a package.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "pipx install": This is the basic command to install a package using pipx.

  • "--pip-args='${pip-args}'": This option allows passing additional arguments for the underlying pip command that pipx runs. The variable "${pip-args}" is used here, which suggests that it refers to some custom arguments defined elsewhere in the script or environment.

  • "${package}": This is the name of the package that you want to install. It is a variable, so it should be replaced with the actual name of the package you intend to install.

Overall, this command is trying to install a package using pipx while providing additional custom arguments (if any) for the pip command that pipx internally uses.

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.
