Installation
============

As part of a Python project's environment tooling (similar to ``pip``), it's
recommended to install ``pip-tools`` in each project's `virtual environment`_:
Similar to ``pip``, ``pip-tools`` should be installed in each of your project's
`virtual environments`_:

.. code-block:: bash

$ source /path/to/venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ pip install pip-tools

``pip-sync`` needs to run in the same environment as
your project to identify which packages to install or upgrade. This is also
recommended for ``pip-compile`` so conditional dependencies that require a
specific Python version or other environment marker resolve relative to your
project's environment.

**Note**: all of the remaining example commands assume you've activated your
project's virtual environment.
