pipx: Install a package in a virtual environment and add entry points to path.
$ pipx install ${package}
try on your machine

The command "pipx install ${package}" is used to install a Python package using the pipx package manager with a specified package name.

Here's a breakdown of the components of the command:

  • "pipx" is a package manager for Python packages that provides a way to install packages in isolated environments.
  • "install" is a sub-command used with pipx to indicate that we want to install a package.
  • "${package}" is a placeholder that represents the name of the specific package that you want to install. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to install.

For example, if you want to install the package called "requests" using pipx, you would replace "${package}" with "requests" in the command: "pipx install requests". This would initiate the installation of the "requests" package using pipx.

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.
