Is “pip install” the only way to install?

Question

If I use IDE, say Pycharm or Atom, do I have to “pip install” module?
Why can’t we just install the module within the IDE? For instance, “Project Interpreter” in Pycharm, or “Install Package” in Atom?

Answer 1

It depends. You can always use pip install but if your IDE allows another ways, say by just selecting a required package and download and install it automatically, you can of course do it this way too.
I use Anaconda to have a nice overview and interface about which packages I already have and which are available to install.

This is probably one of my top question though this might be a dumb question for many lol. Thank you ;)
