Install Python packages using uv — pip

Installs one or more Python packages into the uv-managed environment for the current uv project.

Usage

pip_install(packages, quiet = FALSE)

packages: Character vector of package specifications accepted by pip install (e.g. "requests", "numpy>=2.0").
quiet: Logical; whether to suppress uv output.

A processx result object, returned invisibly.

This is a thin wrapper around uv pip install. It must be called from within a uv project.

with_temp_project({
  init()
  pip_install("requests", quiet = TRUE)
})
