llm-install

llm install [options] [packages...]llm uninstall [-y] packages...

llm install runs pip inside the same Python environment that provides the llm command. That is how model plugins (for example llm-claude-3 or llm-ollama) become visible to llm models and llm prompt. Packages installed with a different pip or virtualenv are not picked up.llm uninstall removes packages from that same environment. It asks for confirmation unless -y is given.

packages

One or more project names (PyPI) or, with -e, a local path. llm install with no packages prints help.

Upgrade each named package to the latest version pip will accept.

Install the project at PATH in editable mode.

Reinstall even when the package is already up to date.

Do not use pip's download cache.

Allow pre-release and development versions.

llm uninstall only. Skip the confirmation prompt.

Help for llm install or llm uninstall.

Subcommand of llm, not a separate binary. A Homebrew or Nix llm and a pip install llm are different environments; install plugins with the llm you actually run. llm install -U llm upgrades the tool inside its current environment and can move ahead of the distro package. Package names and versions go to pip, so a typo installs nothing useful and a broad upgrade can change unrelated plugins.

llm(1), llm-keys(1), llm-models(1), pip(1)
