Install local wheel file with requirements.txt
Question:
Have a local package ABC-0.0.2-py3-none-any.whl. I want to install it in the different project through requrements.txt. e.g.
requirements.txt
ABC==0.0.2
Flask==1.1.2
flask-restplus==0.13.0
gunicorn==20.0.4
Is it possible to install the ABC package this way. ABC-0.0.2-py3-none-any.whl is included in source code. I had to pip install ABC-0.0.2-py3-none-any.whl separately.
Answers:
in your requirement.txt file add
-f <path to the whl file>==<Version>
then install using python -m pip install -r <path to requirment.txt file>
This is called a direct reference. Since version 19.3, pip support this in both command line and requirement files. Check out an example from the official documentation.
As to OP’s question, simply put the local wheel’s relative path, i.e., ./<my_wheel_dir>/<my_wheel.whl>, in requirement.txt, e.g.,
./local_wheels/ABC-0.0.2-py3-none-any.whl
Flask==1.1.2
flask-restplus==0.13.0
gunicorn==20.0.4
With a pyproject.toml file using setuptools the local syntax ./local_wheels/ABC-0.0.2-py3-none-any.whl does not work.
This works:
tensorflow @ file://localhost/pip-wheels/aarch64/tensorflow-2.8.4-cp38-cp38-linux_aarch64.whl
file://localhost/ + absolute paths is needed.
The pip issue migth explain why.
