python: Install a package using `pip`.

python

$ python -m ${pip} install ${package_name}

try on your machine

This command is used to install a Python package using the pip module in Python.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

python: This is the command used to execute Python code.
-m: It stands for "module" and is used to run a module as a script. In this case, we use it to run the pip module.
${pip}: This is a variable representing the name of the pip module. The use of curly braces suggests that it is a placeholder, and the actual module name should be substituted there.
install: This is the command provided to pip for installing a package.
${package_name}: Similar to ${pip}, this is another variable representing the name of the package you want to install. Again, the actual package name needs to be substituted in this placeholder.

By executing this command with the appropriate module and package names, you can install the specified package using pip in Python.

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.
