Option to install only dependencies

[berislavlopac]

Feature Request

When running poetry install, it installs all the dependencies and then adds the project itself, in the "editable" mode. Sometimes it would be preferable to install just the dependencies, and let the user install the project itself manually, or not at all (for example, when building a docker image installing the dependencies first gets cached, so future builds -- if there was just a code change -- are much faster; see https://pythonspeed.com/articles/pipenv-docker/).

So I'd like to propose an option for the install command -- let's say --deps-only -- that would skip that last step of installing the project itself.

Hello @berislavlopac,

Starting from 1.0.0a3, there is the --no-root option that allows to skip installing the project itself.

By default poetry will install your project's package everytime you run install:

If you want to skip this installation, use the --no-root option.

poetry install --no-root

This is a duplicate of #800, which has already been addressed. The requested functionality is already available in the 1.0 beta releases via: poetry install --no-root
