When building from source I would prefer to use pip install . or pip install -e, instead of python setup.py install or python setup.py develop, so I can uninstall the package more easily.
Is there any reason I should NOT do this? Seems like a simple question but I can’t find the answer anywhere.
Thanks.
Looks like I can still pip uninstall torch even if using python setup.py, but I’m still curious, is there a reason not to use pip explicitly during the install?
If I’m not mistaken, the setup.py approach is considered legacy as mentioned here so you might be find building via pip. However, I haven’t carefully read through the mentioned PEPs.
