Python - PIP Part 2: Installing Packages Using PIP

One of the primary functions of PIP is installing Python packages. PIP allows you to download and install packages from the Python Package Index (PyPI) with ease.

Example 1: Installing a Package

To install a package, run:

pip install requests

This installs the requests library, which is widely used for making HTTP requests in Python.

Example 2: Installing a Specific Version

To install a specific version of a package, you can specify the version number:

pip install requests==2.25.0

Example 3: Installing Multiple Packages

You can also install multiple packages in one go:

pip install numpy pandas matplotlib

Explanation:

PIP makes it simple to add dependencies to your Python project, either by installing the latest version or by specifying a particular version.
