There will be no conflicts if you use 'pip' with virtual Python environments. The following example works in BASH: cd /path/to/some/workdir python3.7 -m venv venv . venv/bin/activate You have now activated a virtual Python 3.7 environment, including 'pip'. Now you can use pip install foobar To install 'foobar' and all dependencies from pypi.org, with all files being written inside the /path/to/some/workdir/venv directory. Virtual environments ensure there are no conflicts between different Python applications or the system's own Python installations. -Ralph
