yes of course !

```auto
xxxx-alexandre@xxxx-alexandre:~/Documents/AnalyticaTechCode/ansible$ pip3.12 install --include-deps ansible -vvv

Usage:   
  pip3.12 install [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ...
  pip3.12 install [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ...
  pip3.12 install [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
  pip3.12 install [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
  pip3.12 install [options] <archive url/path> ...

no such option: --include-deps
xxxx-alexandre@xxxx-alexandre:~/Documents/AnalyticaTechCode/ansible$

```

or, in virtual environnement :

```auto
xxxx-alexandre@xxxx-alexandre:~/Documents/AnalyticaTechCode/ansible$ source ./env/bin/activate
(env) xxxx-alexandre@xxxx-alexandre:~/Documents/AnalyticaTechCode/ansible$ pip3.12 install --include-deps ansible -vvv

Usage:   
  pip3.12 install [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ...
  pip3.12 install [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ...
  pip3.12 install [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
  pip3.12 install [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
  pip3.12 install [options] <archive url/path> ...

no such option: --include-deps
(env) xxxx-alexandre@xxxx-alexandre:~/Documents/AnalyticaTechCode/ansible$ 

```

[pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/) is a separate tool from [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/). If you are using regular pip, you do not need the `--include-deps` flag.

@aragon5956 Glad you got it working, and thanks for marking @gotmax23 reply as solved.

I’m wondering how we can avoid this confusion in the future. How can we improve the documentation?

hello !!🙂  
just precise that pipx is independant from pip3.y ou pip2.y or any pip version. But maybe the user can know what is it before !  
insert the precision _if you want it_.  
Regards !🙂
