pip offers a number of Package Index Options for modifying how packages are found.
pip looks for packages in a number of places, on PyPI (if not disabled via
```--no-index```), in the local filesystem, and in any additional repositories
specified via ```--find-links``` or ```--index-url```. There is no ordering in
the locations that are searched, rather they are all checked, and the "best"
match for the requirements (in terms of version number - see `PEP440`_ for
details) is selected.
See the :ref:`pip install Examples<pip install Examples>`.
