# editable_package_hint

> **Function** in `deepagents_code`

📖 [View in docs](https://reference.langchain.com/python/deepagents-code/update_check/editable_package_hint)

Return the canonical action hint for editable installs needing a package.

Editable installs can't have packages added automatically, so this points
the user at adding it to their own development environment. Phrased without
a raw install command, since surfacing `uv tool` invocations to the user is
intentionally avoided.

## Signature

    package: str,
