Picking Requirements¶

pip-ui-tkinter provides two ways to manage requirements files, making it easy to work with multiple projects or complex installation workflows.

Global Requirements File¶

In the top toolbar, you can select a "Global Requirements" file. This is useful when you are working on a specific project and frequently need to install or update its requirements.

When a global requirements file is selected:

• It is automatically pre-filled into the Requirements File field for commands that support it (like install or uninstall).
• You can still override this selection on a per-command basis if needed.

Per-Command Selection¶

Every command form that accepts a requirements file includes a dedicated field with a Browse... button.

• Requirements File (-r): Specify one or more requirements files to install from.
• Constraints File (-c): Constrain version numbers of installed packages without including them as direct requirements.

Saving current state to Requirements¶

After running a command like freeze, you can easily copy the output or save it directly to a file from the output panel to update your project's requirements.txt.
