Installing a package to a separate directory by pip

Question

I am trying to install a dependent package to a separate directory in my existing project as follows:

python -m pip install -t C:\Users\Mahdi\eclipse-workspace\
google-cloud-functions\com\mahdi\python\functions\gcs\dependency com.mahdi.python.file_igestion

but I get below error. Is there anything I am missing?

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement com.mahdi.pyhton.file_igestion (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for com.mahdi.pyhton.file_igestion

EDIT: per suggestion I could instllpackage by setup.py sdidst and I can see the package installed

C:\Users\Mahdi\eclipse-workspace\google-cloud-functions>python -m pip list
Package                  Version    Location
------------------------ ---------- -------------------------------------------------------
file-ingestion           0.2        c:\users\mahdi\eclipse-workspace\google-cloud-functions

but when I run blow command I still get error

C:\Users\Mahdi\eclipse-workspace\google-cloud-functions\com\mahdi\python\functions\gcs>python -m pip install -t C:\Users\Mahdi\ecli
pse-workspace\google-cloud-functions\com\mahdi\python\functions\gcs\dependency file-ingestion

You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 18.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Answer 1

To install a package that you've built locally you would need to use something similar to

pip install mypackage --no-index --find-links file:///srv/pkg/mypackage

You need to have packaged this up using python setup.py sdist first.
