python - How do I install a .whl file in a PyCharm virtualenv?

Question

The package manager in Project Interpreter doesn't appear to have any way for me to run a pure pip command so I'm unable to install the wheel as I normally would through command line.

Running through command line installs the wheel on my base python install and not the virtualenv. Help?

Answer 1

You can install it from PyCharm's Python console with the pip module :

import pip

def install_whl(path):
    pip.main(['install', path])

install_whl("path/to/file.whl")
