pip: force install ignoring dependencies
Question:
Is there any way to force install a pip python package ignoring all it’s dependencies that cannot be satisfied?
(I don’t care how “wrong” it is to do so, I just need to do it, any logic and reasoning aside…)
Answers:
pip has a --no-dependencies switch. You should use that.
For more information, run pip install -h, where you’ll see this line:
--no-deps, --no-dependencies
Ignore package dependencies
When I was trying install librosa package with pip (pip install librosa), this error appeared:
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'llvmlite'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
I tried to remove llvmlite, but pip uninstall could not remove it. So, I used capability of ignore of pip by this code:
pip install librosa --ignore-installed llvmlite
Indeed, you can use this rule for ignoring a package you don’t want to consider:
pip install {package you want to install} --ignore-installed {installed package you don't want to consider}
Try the following:
pip install --no-deps <LIB_NAME>
or
pip install --no-dependencies <LIB_NAME>
or
pip install --no-deps -r requirements.txt
or
pip install --no-dependencies -r requirements.txt
