How to do pip install for git repos

Question

I had done a pip freeze and one of the line in requirement file is a git repo as en-core-web-lg @ https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_lg-2.2.5/en_core_web_lg-2.2.5.tar.gz

I have tried installing it with

pip3 install -e en-core-web-lg @ git+https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_lg-2.2.5/en_core_web_lg-2.2.5.tar.gz

It resulted in an error as

line 97, in __init__
    requirement_string[e.loc:e.loc + 8]))
pip._vendor.packaging.requirements.InvalidRequirement: Invalid requirement, parse error at "'@'"

pip sees the @ as a package name and not as an identifier for a location. Have you tried without the spaces around @? — MatsLindh

You can do:

pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_lg-2.2.5/en_core_web_lg-2.2.5.tar.gz

In your original URL, the @ is unnecessary. Nevertheless, -e flag and git+https implies that you provide a #egg=your_package_name at the end of the URL specifying the package that will be editable and installed. This seems incompatible with the tarball URL as far as I could test.

So just go with the above URL, I guess it's what you need.
