How to install multiple python packages at once using pip
How to install multiple python packages at once using pip
For installing multiple packages on the command line, just pass them as a space-delimited list, e.g.:
pip install wsgiref boto
For installing from a text file, then, from pip install --help:
-r FILENAME, –requirement=FILENAME
Install all the packages listed in the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.
Take a look at the pip documentation regarding requirements files for their general layout and syntax – note that you can generate one based on current environment / site-packages with pip freeze if you want a quick example – e.g. (based on having installed wsgiref and boto in a clean virtualenv):
$ pip freeze
boto==2.3.0
wsgiref==0.1.2
pip install -r requirements.txt
and in the requirements.txt file you put your modules in a list, with one item per line.
- Django=1.3.1
- South>=0.7
- django-debug-toolbar
How to install multiple python packages at once using pip
You can install packages listed in a text file called requirements file.
For example, if you have a file called req.txt containing the following text:
Django==1.4
South==0.7.3
and you issue at the command line:
pip install -r req.txt
pip will install packages listed in the file at the specific revisions.
