Per discussion at #5262 (comment), I think we shouldn't by default suggest users to use
-I
(--ignore-installed
) when installing/upgrading from the source.Doing so causes
pip
to blindly install a new version without overriding the existing one in the system, and from my experience, it will not update the CLI entry point (a wrapper script usually in path e.g./Scripts/gallery-dl.exe
on Windows) to point to the newly installed version, which defeats the main point of installing the latest dev version.
