What is the -t flag for pip?
Question:
I was advised to use pip install module-name -t /path/to/project-dir, but I did not understand what the t flag is for. Can someone help me?
Answers:
From the manual:
-t, --target <dir>
Install packages into <dir>.
By default this will not replace existing files/folders in <dir>.
Use --upgrade to replace existing packages in <dir> with new versions.
At the time of writing, OP has 4 thumbs down because the question was worded in granular manner not indicative of the real problem, paraphrased below:
“Why does the –help option not display all possible flags that the pip command supports, and their usages?”
Answer:
More are covered in the manual page link that user:plaes provided, such as “-r” for requirements.
