# Managing packages
## Installing a package
To install a package into the virtual environment, e.g., Flask:
```console
$ uv pip install flask
```
To install a package with optional dependencies enabled, e.g., Flask with the "dotenv" extra:
```console
$ uv pip install "flask[dotenv]"
```
To install multiple packages, e.g., Flask and Ruff:
```console
$ uv pip install flask ruff
```
To install a package with a constraint, e.g., Ruff v0.2.0 or newer:
```console
$ uv pip install 'ruff>=0.2.0'
```
To install a package at a specific version, e.g., Ruff v0.3.0:
```console
$ uv pip install 'ruff==0.3.0'
```
To install a package from the disk:
```console
$ uv pip install "ruff @ ./projects/ruff"
```
To install a package from GitHub:
```console
$ uv pip install "git+https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff"
```
To install a package from GitHub at a specific reference:
```console
$ # Install a tag
$ uv pip install "git+https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff@v0.2.0"
$ # Install a commit
$ uv pip install "git+https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff@1fadefa67b26508cc59cf38e6130bde2243c929d"
$ # Install a branch
$ uv pip install "git+https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff@main"
```
See the [Git authentication](../concepts/authentication.md#git-authentication) documentation for
installation from a private repository.
## Editable packages
Editable packages do not need to be reinstalled for changes to their source code to be active.
To install the current project as an editable package
```console
$ uv pip install -e .
```
To install a project in another directory as an editable package:
```console
$ uv pip install -e "ruff @ ./project/ruff"
```
## Installing packages from files
Multiple packages can be installed at once from standard file formats.
Install from a `requirements.txt` file:
```console
$ uv pip install -r requirements.txt
```
See the [`uv pip compile`](./compile.md) documentation for more information on `requirements.txt`
files.
Install from a `pyproject.toml` file:
```console
$ uv pip install -r pyproject.toml
```
Install from a `pyproject.toml` file with optional dependencies enabled, e.g., the "foo" extra:
```console
$ uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --extra foo
```
Install from a `pyproject.toml` file with all optional dependencies enabled:
```console
$ uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --all-extras
```
To install dependency groups in the current project directory's `pyproject.toml`, for example the
group `foo`:
```console
$ uv pip install --group foo
```
To specify the project directory where groups should be sourced from:
```console
$ uv pip install --project some/path/ --group foo --group bar
```
Alternatively, you can specify a path to a `pyproject.toml` for each group:
```console
$ uv pip install --group some/path/pyproject.toml:foo --group other/pyproject.toml:bar
```
!!! note
As in pip, `--group` flags do not apply to other sources specified with flags like `-r` or `-e`.
For instance, `uv pip install -r some/path/pyproject.toml --group foo` sources `foo`
from `./pyproject.toml` and **not** `some/path/pyproject.toml`.
## Uninstalling a package
To uninstall a package, e.g., Flask:
```console
$ uv pip uninstall flask
```
To uninstall multiple packages, e.g., Flask and Ruff:
```console
$ uv pip uninstall flask ruff
```
