  <p>so i have multiple python and i want to install a package to one specific python</p>
  
  <p>for example, python lib is located in /top/python-demo-5/lib/python2.7</p>
  
  <p>i looked at --build, --target, --src and i m assuming i need to use --target to specify installation location</p>
  
  <p>Which command do i need to use?</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install --target /top/python-demo-5/lib/python2.7 &lt;package&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install --target /top/python-demo-5/lib/python2.7/site-packages &lt;package&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>im on RHEL</p>
