Why am I getting these "WARNING: Target Directory <directory> already exists." when I pip install a module?

Question

Here's an example, I just installed pyimgur to show what's going on.

C:\Users\MYSTERY_PERSON3000\programming\python\books\automate-the-boring-stuff-with-python>python -m pip install pyimgur

Also when I reinstall modules that are already installed it prints out similar warnings instead of saying the module is already installed.

Answer 1

It says you have already installed that packages. Then why need to worry but if you want to install packages again and again try this command.

pip3 install [package_name] --upgrade
