When I use python -m pip install <package>
, how is that different from using just pip install <package>
? Similarly, why would I write python -m pip install --upgrade pip
to upgrade Pip, instead of just pip install --upgrade pip
?
If you type python --help
You get
// More flags above
-m mod : run library module as a script (terminates option list)
// and more flags below
A great many things in a terminal will show you how to use it if you either use command --help
or man command
