Running a branch

With PIP

pip install git+https://github.com/{user}/{repo}.git@{branch}

E.g.:

pip install git+https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance.git@feature/name

With Git

1: Download from GitHub:

Or if a specific branch:

Note

Only do the next part if you are installing globally

If you are installing for 1 specific project, then you can skip this step and just git clone in the project directory

2. Add download location to Python search path

Two different ways, choose one:

1. Add path to PYTHONPATH environment variable

2) Add to top of Python file: .. code-block:: python

import sys sys.path.insert(0, “path/to/downloaded/yfinance”)

3: Verify

Output should be:

<module ‘yfinance’ from ‘path/to/downloaded/yfinance/yfinance/__init__.py’>

If output looks like this then you did step 2 wrong

<module ‘yfinance’ from ‘…/lib/python3.10/site-packages/yfinance/__init__.py’>
