Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Using Fossapup64-95.

I recently downloaded and updated some Python packages and was slightly unsure as to where they should be installed.

Here is an example downloading/installing Gdown ..... requirements Python 3.8

I can check to see that the package has been installed successfully via terminal

pip list > installed_packages.txt

However, if I ask which version is installed it informs me that it is an older build

Is the reason for this is that there is no Pip configuration file?

I profess, I do not know the inner workings of how this is selected.

So, I set a configuration file via terminal:

pip config set global.target /usr/local/lib/Python/3.8/dist-packages

This creates a directory in /root named pip

I ran the command again but it still reports the same

I do know that using the pip3 command will install in the Python 2 directory instead of the default one.
