.whl file explanation
The whl file is a python installation package saved in the wheel format, which is the standard built-in package format of the Python distribution. A WHL file contains all the files and metadata for a Python installation, which also includes the Wheel version used and the packaging specification. WHL files are compressed using Zip compression, which is actually a compressed file .
Wheel is currently considered the standard format for python binary packages.
To put it bluntly, .whl is the compressed package of python
Take a chestnut:
rknn_toolkit-1.7.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Among them, rknn_toolkit is the file name, cp36 refers to the corresponding python version, cp36 refers to python3.6 , similarly, cp37 refers to python3.7, win refers to the operating system as windows, and amd refers to 64-bit
The installation format of the whl file:
pip install 文件名.whl
