Pipfile «WORKING | Tricks»

package = "*"                 # Latest version
package = "==1.2.3"          # Exact version
package = ">=1.0,<2.0"       # Version range
package = "~=1.2.3"          # Compatible release (>=1.2.3, <1.3.0)
package = git = "https://github.com/user/repo.git"
package = editable = true, path = "./local-lib"

To install the dependencies declared in your Pipfile, run:

pipfile install

This will install all dependencies specified in your Pipfile.

Here's a basic example of how to use Pipfile: Pipfile

pipenv install requests

This updates [packages] in Pipfile and locks exact versions + hashes.

Navigate to your project folder and install a package. Pipenv creates the virtual environment, the Pipfile, and the Pipfile.lock automatically. package = "*" # Latest version package =

mkdir my_awesome_project
cd my_awesome_project
pipenv install requests

Notice the output: Creating a virtualenv for this project... and Adding requests to Pipfile's [packages]...

If you clone a project that has a Pipfile, you simply run: To install the dependencies declared in your Pipfile

pipenv install

This reads the Pipfile, checks the Pipfile.lock (if it exists), and installs the exact versions. If no lock file exists, it generates one.

To install only production packages (e.g., for a Docker image):

pipenv install --system --deploy
