pip add extra url

Pip is the package installer for Python, and it allows you to easily install and manage Python packages. Sometimes, you may need to install packages from a custom or additional package index (URL) apart from the default Python Package Index (PyPI). In such cases, Pip allows you to add extra URLs to search for packages. This tutorial will guide you through the process of adding extra URLs to Pip.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Open a terminal or command prompt on your system.
Open the configuration file in a text editor and add the following lines:
Replace YOUR_EXTRA_URL with the actual URL of the additional package index you want to add.
Example:
You can add multiple URLs by separating them with commas:
Save the changes to the configuration file.
You can verify that the extra URL has been added by running the following command:
Now, you can install packages from the extra URL using the regular pip install command:
Pip will search for the specified package in both the default PyPI and the extra URL you added.
In this tutorial, you learned how to add extra URLs to Pip to install packages from custom or additional package indexes. This can be useful when you need to access packages that are not available on the default Python Package Index.
