Hello,
Does the ! symbol in code, like !pip install execute a terminal command in the currently working directory or globally?
For example:
!pip install numpy, is it equivalent to opening up terminal in your currently workoing directory and typing pip install numpy?
Thanks!

In Jupyter or Colab, !pip install numpy executes globally within the Python environment running the notebook. It’s equivalent to typing pip install numpy in a terminal linked to that environment. Commands use the notebook’s current working directory for relative paths. Use 'sys.executable ' for precision on package installations.

I see, thank you for clearing up my confusion!
