Package Installer Script

Create a Python script that installs Python packages to custom locations based on user preferences.

Overview

Build a command-line utility that wraps package installation functionality to support different installation strategies. The script should allow users to install packages either to a specific target directory or to the user's local site-packages directory.

Capabilities

Custom Directory Installation

Install packages to a user-specified target directory.

• Installing "requests" to "./custom_libs" directory creates the package in that location @test
• Installing "click" to "/tmp/mylibs" directory creates the package in that location @test

User-Local Installation

Install packages to the user's local site-packages directory without requiring administrative privileges.

• Installing "pytest" to user directory completes successfully @test
• Installing "flask" to user directory does not require sudo/admin rights @test
