How to install a Python package from within IPython?

Question

I wonder if it\'s possible to install python packages without leaving the IPython shell.

Answer 1

The accepted answer by aculich will not work in all circumstances, for example:

• If you installed ipython/jupyter in a venv and run it directly via the venv's python binary
• If you have multiple python versions, like EntryLevelR.

The correct command is:

import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install requests
