Installing local packages during cog build

[daniele-sartiano]

Hello,

I am trying to install a local package during the cog build process. Specifically, I would like to install a package from a local file like this:

pip install mylibpackage.zip

I tried adding it to requirements.txt and also specifying it in the run command inside my cog.yaml file, like so:

run:
  - pip install mylibpackage.zip

But no luck so far. 😕

Is there a proper way to install local packages during the cog build? Maybe I'm missing something or it’s just not supported?

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

What happens if you use the absolute path of the package?

bump for this. would be super useful.
@8W9aG it doesn't work. none of the code is copied at that point.

Bump for this also, unusable without this feature.
