Is “pip install” the only way to install?

If I use IDE, say Pycharm or Atom, do I have to “pip install” module? Why can’t we just install the module within the IDE? For instance, “Project Interpreter” in Pycharm, or “Install Package” in Atom?

It depends. You can always use pip install but if your IDE allows another ways, say by just selecting a required package and download and install it automatically, you can of course do it this way too. I use Anaconda to have a nice overview and interface about which packages I already have and which are available to install.
