Pip Install Using Proxy In A Virtual Environment

I work on a Ubuntu VM in my company's laptop which uses proxy server for connecting to internet. After some research I found out how to install modules using pip install with proxy

Solution 1:

Meanwhile, I know the solution. pip needs the environment variable HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY in capital letters, instead of http_proxy. So append below text pattern at the end of your your '~/.bashrc'

HTTP_PROXY=http://username:pass@proxyaddress:port
export HTTP_PROXY
HTTPS_PROXY=http://username:pass@proxyaddress:port
export HTTPS_PROXY

Then, run source ~/.bashrc Now you can install all python packages using pip in your Ubuntu VM with proxy login.

Solution 2:

Do not activate the virtualenv and run your pip install --proxy ... command with the full path to your virtualenv pip i.e.

C:\Users\name\myvenv\Scripts\pip install --proxy=http://user:pass@<proxy_address>:<portnumber> virtualenv

Solution 3:

You might need to exit out of virtualenv and install packages offline. Download packages with:

pip download -d <path/to/downloads/> {package_name | -r requirements.txt}

Then enter your virtualenv, install packages with:

pip install {package_name| -r requiements.txt} --no-index --find-links <path/to/downloads/>
