How to change pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ PACKAGE-NAME to pip install PACKAGE-NAME

Question

I have uploaded my package to the https://test.pypi.org/ using this tutorial. But, at the end, the installation works with pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ PACKAGE-NAME. However, I aimed at installing the package using pip install PACKAGE-NAME.

Anybody knows how can I change it to work with pip install PACKAGE-NAME?

For more information, I have a setup.py file, which looks like this:

from setuptools import setup
from os import path


current_dir = path.abspath(path.dirname(__file__))


with open("README.md", "r") as fh:
    long_description = fh.read()

with open(path.join(current_dir, 'requirements.txt'), 'r') as f:
    install_requires = f.read().split('\n')

setup(
      name='package name',
      version='0.0.1',
      author='author name',
      author_email='author's email',
      description='description',
      long_description=long_description,
      long_description_content_type="text/markdown",
      license='License',
      packages=['package name'],
      keywords='keywords',
      classifiers=[
              "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
              "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
              "Operating System :: OS Independent"
              ],
      python_requires='>=3.6'
      )

and I have also a setup.cfg file, which is:

[build_sphinx]
source-dir = docs
build-dir = docs/_build
all_files = 1

[upload_sphinx]
upload-dir = docs/_build/html

[easy_install]

I found the issue with my problem today. When you upload your package on https://test.pypi.org/, the installation using pip works with:

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ PACKAGE-NAME 

to be able to install the package with pip install PACKAGE-NAME, you should upload it on https://pypi.org/.

Therefore, I needed to walk through the steps in the tutorial for pypi, not for test.pypi.
