How to download package with `pip`, but not install it?
Mar 2, 2:29pm

To download a Python package with pip without installing it, you can use the --download (or -d) option. This will download the package and its dependencies to a specified directory, but will not install them.

Command:

bash
pip download <package_name> -d /path/to/directory

Example:

If you want to download the requests package to a directory called downloads in your current folder, you would use:

bash
pip download requests -d ./downloads

Notes:

  • Replace <package_name> with the name of the package you want to download.
  • Replace /path/to/directory with the actual path where you want the package to be downloaded.
  • This command will download the package and all its dependencies to the specified directory.
