pip

Install local package

pip install -e path/to/package

The -e keyword in pip facilitates the installation of packages from a local folder, yet it carries certain constraints. Notably, the package being installed must contain a pyproject.toml file, a prerequisite for its successful installation. Moreover, the usage of this feature necessitates an upgrade of pip to version 21.3 or beyond. More comprehensive details can be found in the discussion on How to install a package using pip in editable mode with pyproject.toml?."
