Documented steps
Make sure the environment is active, or pass the interpreter explicitly with python -m pip install <package>.
Add a version specifier to pin, for example python -m pip install requests==2.32.3, requests>=2.31, or requests~=2.32.
To upgrade an already-installed package add --upgrade (without it pip leaves the installed version as-is).
For pre-release or development builds pass --pre.
Known gotchas
Prefer python -m pip over a bare pip so packages land in the interpreter you intend.
Pre-release versions are excluded by default unless the specifier allows them or --pre is set.
On externally-managed system Pythons (modern Debian/Ubuntu) pip refuses to modify the global environment; create a venv, or only as a last resort pass --break-system-packages, which is not recommended.
pip installs dependencies by default; add --no-deps to skip them.
