Using 'rye add' to add a package from the local file system?

[BruceEckel]

rye add --help seems to indicate that a package can be added from the local file system:

Adds a Python package to this project

Usage: rye.exe add [OPTIONS] <REQUIREMENTS>...

Arguments:
  <REQUIREMENTS>...  The package to add as PEP 508 requirement string. e.g. 'flask==2.2.3'

Options:
      --git <GIT>            Install the given package from this git repository
      --url <URL>            Install the given package from this URL
      --path <PATH>          Install the given package from this local path
      --absolute             Force non interpolated absolute paths
      --tag <TAG>            Install a specific tag
      --rev <REV>            Update to a specific git rev
      --branch <BRANCH>      Update to a specific git branch
      --features <FEATURES>  Adds a dependency with a specific feature
      --dev                  Add this as dev dependency
      --excluded             Add this as an excluded dependency that will not be installed even if it's a sub dependency
      --optional <OPTIONAL>  Add this to an optional dependency group
      --pre                  Include pre-releases when finding a package version
      --pin <PIN>            Overrides the pin operator [possible values: equal, tilde-equal, greater-than-equal]
  -v, --verbose              Enables verbose diagnostics
  -q, --quiet                Turns off all output
  -h, --help                 Print help

But I can't tell whether this feature is not yet enabled or if the documentation/help is incomplete. For example, I tried:

> rye add --path ..\cpu_intensive\dist\cpu_intensive-0.1.0.tar.gz
error: one or more required arguments were not provided

Also, does it need to be a dist or can you give it a regular source directory? Thanks.

Try rye add <package-name> --path <path>

Thank you, that worked. I think the help info may need adjusting.
