As a more general answer, . in both Unix and Windows means "the current directory".

pip displays a page of help text, which tells you that pip install --help will give you help text specific to pip install.

Basically you are specifying the location from which the pip package manager to extract the package information from.

E.g.:

# Get the Source code
git clone https://github.com/wkentaro/pytorch-fcn.git

# Change into the cloned git repository:pytorch-fcn
cd pytorch-fcn

# Install the package definitions from current location i.e. pytorch-fcn.
pip install .

Here is a brief description:
pip executes the setup.py which loads the requirements.txt which has textual representation of the dependency packages.

References:

Available here is the official documentation of pip.

For better python development workflow refer here for why you should use pip and virtualenv.

Hello thanks for the reply. I have only used pip to do installations and have no idea how it works. What do you mean by package definitions ? Is there a specific file in pytorch-fcn that pip executes ?
