.. _`Configuration`:
:orphan:
Configuration
=================
=============
.. _config-file:
Config file
------------
pip allows you to set all command line option defaults in a standard ini
style config file.
The names and locations of the configuration files vary slightly across
platforms.
* On Unix and Mac OS X the configuration file is: :file:`$HOME/.pip/pip.conf`
* On Windows, the configuration file is: :file:`%HOME%\\pip\\pip.ini`
You can set a custom path location for the config file using the environment variable ``PIP_CONFIG_FILE``.
In a virtual environment, an additional config file will be read from the base
directory of the virtualenv (``sys.prefix`` as reported by Python). The base
name of the file is the same as the user configuration file (:file:`pip.conf`
on Unix and OSX, :file:`pip.ini` on Windows). Values in the virtualenv-specific
configuration file take precedence over those in the user's configuration file
(whether from the user home or specified via ``PIP_CONFIG_FILE``).
The names of the settings are derived from the long command line option, e.g.
if you want to use a different package index (``--index-url``) and set the
HTTP timeout (``--default-timeout``) to 60 seconds your config file would
look like this:
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
timeout = 60
index-url = http://download.zope.org/ppix
Each subcommand can be configured optionally in its own section so that every
global setting with the same name will be overridden; e.g. decreasing the
``timeout`` to ``10`` seconds when running the `freeze`
(`Freezing Requirements <./#freezing-requirements>`_) command and using
``60`` seconds for all other commands is possible with:
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
timeout = 60
[freeze]
timeout = 10
Boolean options like ``--ignore-installed`` or ``--no-dependencies`` can be
set like this:
.. code-block:: ini
[install]
ignore-installed = true
no-dependencies = yes
Appending options like ``--find-links`` can be written on multiple lines:
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
find-links =
http://download.example.com
[install]
find-links =
http://mirror1.example.com
http://mirror2.example.com
Environment Variables
---------------------
pip's command line options can be set with
environment variables using the format ``PIP_<UPPER_LONG_NAME>`` . Dashes (``-``) have to replaced with underscores (``_``).
For example, to set the default timeout::
export PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=60
This is the same as passing the option to pip directly::
pip --default-timeout=60 [...]
To set options that can be set multiple times on the command line, just add spaces in between values. For example::
export PIP_FIND_LINKS="http://mirror1.example.com http://mirror2.example.com"
is the same as calling::
pip install --find-links=http://mirror1.example.com --find-links=http://mirror2.example.com
Config Precedence
-----------------
Command line options have precedence over environment variables, which have precedence over the config file.
Within the config file, command specific sections have precedence over the global section.
Examples:
- ``--host=foo`` overrides ``PIP_HOST=foo``
- ``PIP_HOST=foo`` overrides a config file with ``[global] host = foo``
- A command specific section in the config file ``[<command>] host = bar``
overrides the option with same name in the ``[global]`` config file section
Command Completion
------------------
pip comes with support for command line completion in bash and zsh.
To setup for bash::
$ pip completion --bash >> ~/.profile
To setup for zsh::
$ pip completion --zsh >> ~/.zprofile
Alternatively, you can use the result of the ``completion`` command
directly with the eval function of you shell, e.g. by adding the following to your startup file::
eval "`pip completion --bash`"

.. _`Requirements Files`:
Requirements Files
******************
"Requirements files" are files containing a list of items to be
installed using :ref:`pip install -r <install_--requirement>` like so:
::
pip install -r requirements.txt
Details on the format of the files are here: :ref:`Requirements File Format`.
There are 3 common use cases for requirements files:
1. When installing many things, it's easier to use a requirements file,
than specifying them all on the command line.
2. Requirements files are often used to hold the result from :ref:`pip freeze`
for the purpose of achieving :ref:`repeatable installations <Repeatability>`.
In this case, your requirement file contains a pinned version of everything
that was installed when `pip freeze` was run.
::
pip freeze > requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Requirements files can be used to force pip to properly resolve dependencies.
As it is now, pip `doesn't have true dependency resolution
<https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/988>`_, but instead simply uses the first
specification it finds for a project. E.g if `pkg1` requires `pkg3>=1.0` and
`pkg2` requires `pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0`, and if `pkg1` is resolved first, pip will
only use `pkg3>=1.0`, and could easily end up installing a version of `pkg3`
that conflicts with the needs of `pkg2`. To solve this problem, you can
place `pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0` (i.e. the correct specification) into your
requirements file directly along with the other top level requirements. Like
so:
::
pkg1
pkg2
pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0
It's important to be clear that pip determines package dependencies using `install_requires metadata
<http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#declaring-dependencies>`_, not by discovering `requirements.txt`
files embedded in projects.
For a good discussion on the conceptual differences between setup.py and
requirements, see `"setup.py vs requirements.txt" (an article by Donald Stufft)
<https://caremad.io/blog/setup-vs-requirement/>`_
See also:
* :ref:`Requirements File Format`
* :ref:`pip freeze`
.. _`Fast & Local Installs`:
Fast & Local Installs
*********************
Often, you will want a fast install from local archives, without probing PyPI.
First, :ref:`download the archives <Downloading Archives>` that fulfill your requirements::
$ pip install --download <DIR> -r requirements.txt
Then, install using :ref:`--find-links <--find-links>` and :ref:`--no-index <--no-index>`::
$ pip install --no-index --find-links=[file://]<DIR> -r requirements.txt
.. _`Building and Installing Wheels`:
Building and Installing Wheels
******************************
"Wheel" is a built, archive format that can greatly speed installation compared
to building and installing from source archives. For more information, see the
`Wheel docs <http://wheel.readthedocs.org>`_ ,
`PEP427 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427>`_, and
`PEP425 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0425>`_
Pip prefers Wheels where they are available, to disable this use the
:ref:`--no-use-wheel <install_--no-use-wheel>` flag for :ref:`pip install`.
If no satisfactory wheels are found, pip will default to finding source archives.
.. note::
pip currently disallows platform-specific wheels (except for Windows and Mac)
from being downloaded from PyPI. See :ref:`Should you upload wheels to PyPI`.
To install directly from a wheel archive:
::
pip install SomePackage-1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
pip additionally offers :ref:`pip wheel` as a convenience, to build wheels for
your requirements and dependencies.
:ref:`pip wheel` requires the `wheel package <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wheel>`_ to be installed,
which provides the "bdist_wheel" setuptools extension that it uses.
To build wheels for your requirements and all their dependencies to a local directory:
::
pip install wheel
pip wheel --wheel-dir=/local/wheels -r requirements.txt
And *then* to install those requirements just using your local directory of wheels (and not from PyPI):
::
pip install --no-index --find-links=/local/wheels -r requirements.txt
.. _`Should you upload wheels to PyPI`:
Should you upload wheels to PyPI?
---------------------------------
The wheel format can eliminate a lot of redundant compilation but, alas,
it's not generally advisable to upload your pre-compiled linux-x86-64
library binding to pypi. Wheel's tags are only designed to express
the most important *Python*-specific compatibility concerns (Python
version, ABI, and architecture) but do not represent other important
binary compatibility factors such as the OS release, patch level, and
the versions of all the shared library dependencies of any extensions
inside the package.
Rather than representing all possible compatibility information in the
wheel itself, the wheel design suggests distribution-specific build
services (e.g. a separate index for Fedora Linux binary wheels, compiled
by the index maintainer). This is the same solution taken by Linux
distributions which all re-compile their own packages instead of installing
each other's binary packages.
Some kinds of precompiled C extension modules can make sense on PyPI, even
for Linux. Good examples include things that can be sensibly statically
linked (a cryptographic hash function; an accelerator module that is
not a binding for an external library); the best example of something
that shouldn't be statically linked is a library like openssl that needs
to be constantly kept up-to-date for security. Regardless of whether a
compatible pre-build package is available, many Linux users will prefer
to always compile their own anyway.
On Windows and Mac, the case for binary wheels on pypi is stronger due to the
systems being much more uniform than Linux and because it's harder for the end
user to compile their own. Windows and Mac wheels uploaded to pypi should be
compatible with the Python distributions downloaded from http://python.org/. If
you already upload other binary formats to pypi, upload wheels as well. Unlike
the older formats, wheels are compatible with virtual environments.
.. _`Downloading Archives`:
Downloading archives
********************
pip allows you to *just* download the source archives for your requirements, without installing anything and without regard to what's already installed.
::
$ pip install --download <DIR> -r requirements.txt
or, for a specific package::
$ pip install --download <DIR> SomePackage
Unpacking archives
******************
pip allows you to *just* unpack archives to a build directory without installing them to site-packages. This can be useful to troubleshoot install errors or to inspect what is being installed.
::
$ pip install --no-install SomePackage
If you're in a virtualenv, the build dir is ``<virtualenv path>/build``. Otherwise, it's ``<OS temp dir>/pip-build-<username>``
Afterwards, to finish the job of installing unpacked archives, run::
$ pip install --no-download SomePackage
Non-recursive upgrades
************************
``pip install --upgrade`` is currently written to perform a recursive upgrade.
E.g. supposing:
* `SomePackage-1.0` requires `AnotherPackage>=1.0`
* `SomePackage-2.0` requires `AnotherPackage>=1.0` and `OneMorePoject==1.0`
* `SomePackage-1.0` and `AnotherPackage-1.0` are currently installed
* `SomePackage-2.0` and `AnotherPackage-2.0` are the latest versions available on PyPI.
Running ``pip install --upgrade SomePackage`` would upgrade `SomePackage` *and* `AnotherPackage`
despite `AnotherPackage` already being satisifed.
If you would like to perform a non-recursive upgrade perform these 2 steps::
pip install --upgrade --no-deps SomePackage
pip install SomePackage
The first line will upgrade `SomePackage`, but not dependencies like `AnotherPackage`. The 2nd line will fill in new dependencies like `OneMorePackage`.
.. _`Repeatability`:
Ensuring Repeatability
**********************
Three things are required to fully guarantee a repeatable installation using requirements files.
1. The requirements file was generated by ``pip freeze`` or you're sure it only
contains requirements that specify a specific version.
2. The installation is performed using :ref:`--no-deps <install_--no-deps>`.
This guarantees that only what is explicitly listed in the requirements file is
installed.
3. The installation is performed against an index or find-links location that is
guaranteed to *not* allow archives to be changed and updated without a
version increase. Unfortunately, this is *not* true on PyPI. It is possible
for the same pypi distribution to have a different hash over time. Project
authors are allowed to delete a distribution, and then upload a new one with
the same name and version, but a different hash. See `Issue #1175
<https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1175>`_ for plans to add hash
confirmation to pip, or a new "lock file" notion, but for now, know that the `peep
project <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/peep>`_ offers this feature on top of pip
using requirements file comments.
User Installs
*************
With Python 2.6 came the `"user scheme" for installation
<http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#alternate-installation-the-user-scheme>`_, which means that all
Python distributions support an alternative install location that is specific to a user.
The default location for each OS is explained in the python documentation
for the `site.USER_BASE <http://docs.python.org/library/site.html#site.USER_BASE>`_ variable.
This mode of installation can be turned on by
specifying the :ref:`--user <install_--user>` option to ``pip install``.
Moreover, the "user scheme" can be customized by setting the
``PYTHONUSERBASE`` environment variable, which updates the value of ``site.USER_BASE``.
To install "SomePackage" into an environment with site.USER_BASE customized to '/myappenv', do the following::
export PYTHONUSERBASE=/myappenv
pip install --user SomePackage
``pip install --user`` follows four rules:
#. When globally installed packages are on the python path, and they *conflict*
with the installation requirements, they are ignored, and *not*
uninstalled.
#. When globally installed packages are on the python path, and they *satisfy*
the installation requirements, pip does nothing, and reports that
requirement is satisfied (similar to how global packages can satisfy
requirements when installing packages in a ``--system-site-packages``
virtualenv).
#. pip will not perform a ``--user`` install in a ``--no-site-packages``
virtualenv (i.e. the default kind of virtualenv), due to the user site not
being on the python path. The installation would be pointless.
#. In a ``--system-site-packages`` virtualenv, pip will not install a package
that conflicts with a package in the virtualenv site-packages. The --user
installation would lack sys.path precedence and be pointless.
To make the rules clearer, here are some examples:
From within a ``--no-site-packages`` virtualenv (i.e. the default kind)::
$ pip install --user SomePackage
Can not perform a '--user' install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv.
From within a ``--system-site-packages`` virtualenv where ``SomePackage==0.3`` is already installed in the virtualenv::
$ pip install --user SomePackage==0.4
Will not install to the user site because it will lack sys.path precedence
From within a real python, where ``SomePackage`` is *not* installed globally::
$ pip install --user SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage
From within a real python, where ``SomePackage`` *is* installed globally, but is *not* the latest version::
$ pip install --user SomePackage
[...]
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade)
$ pip install --user --upgrade SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage
From within a real python, where ``SomePackage`` *is* installed globally, and is the latest version::

$ pip install --user --upgrade SomePackage
[...]
Requirement already up-to-date: SomePackage
# force the install
$ pip install --user --ignore-installed SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage
Controlling setup_requires
**************************
Setuptools offers the ``setup_requires``
`setup() keyword <http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#new-and-changed-setup-keywords>`_
for specifying dependencies that need to be present in order for the `setup.py` script to run.
Internally, Setuptools uses ``easy_install`` to fulfill these dependencies.
pip has no way to control how these dependencies are located.
None of the :ref:`Package Index Options <Package Index Options>` have an effect.
The solution is to configure a "system" or "personal"
`Distutils configuration file <http://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html#distutils-configuration-files>`_
to manage the fulfillment.
For example, to have the dependency located at an alternate index, add this:
::
[easy_install]
index_url = https://my.index-mirror.com
To have the dependency located from a local directory and not crawl PyPI, add this:
::
[easy_install]
allow_hosts = ''
find_links = file:///path/to/local/archives
Upgrading from distribute to setuptools
***************************************
`distribute`_ has now been merged into `setuptools`_, and it is recommended to upgrade to setuptools when possible.
To upgrade from `distribute`_ to `setuptools`_ using pip, run::
pip install --upgrade setuptools
"ImportError: No module named setuptools"
-----------------------------------------
Although using the upgrade command above works in isolation, it's possible to get
"ImportError: No module named setuptools" when using pip<1.4 to upgrade a
package that depends on setuptools or distribute.
e.g. when running a command like this: `pip install --upgrade pyramid`
Solution
~~~~~~~~
To prevent the problem in *new* environments (that aren't broken yet):

* Option 2:
* Upgrade pip using :ref:`get-pip <get-pip>`
* *Then* run the command to upgrade your package (e.g. `pip install --upgrade pyramid`)
To fix the problem once it's occurred, you'll need to manually install the new
setuptools, then rerun the upgrade that failed.
1. Download `ez_setup.py` (https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads/ez_setup.py)
2. Run `python ez_setup.py`
3. Then rerun your upgrade (e.g. `pip install --upgrade pyramid`)

distribute-0.7.3 is just an empty wrapper that only serves to require the new
setuptools (setuptools>=0.7) so that it will be installed. (If you don't know
yet, the "new setuptools" is a merge of distribute and setuptools back into one
project).
distribute-0.7.3 does its job well, when the upgrade is done in isolation.
E.g. if you're currently on distribute-0.6.X, then running `pip install -U
setuptools` works fine to upgrade you to setuptools>=0.7.
The problem occurs when:
1. you are currently using an older distribute (i.e. 0.6.X)
2. and you try to use pip to upgrade a package that *depends* on setuptools or
distribute.
As part of the upgrade process, pip builds an install list that ends up
including distribute-0.7.3 and setuptools>=0.7 , but they can end up being
separated by other dependencies in the list, so what can happen is this:
1. pip uninstalls the existing distribute
2. pip installs distribute-0.7.3 (which has no importable setuptools, that pip
*needs* internally to function)
3. pip moves on to install another dependency (before setuptools>=0.7) and is
unable to proceed without the setuptools package
Note that pip v1.4 has fixes to prevent this. distribute-0.7.3 (or
setuptools>=0.7) by themselves cannot prevent this kind of problem.

"ImportError: No module named setuptools"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Although using ``pip install --upgrade setuptools`` to upgrade from distribute
to setuptools works in isolation, it's possible to get "ImportError: No module
named setuptools" when using pip<1.4 to upgrade a package that depends on
setuptools or distribute.
e.g. when running a command like this: `pip install --upgrade pyramid`
Solution
~~~~~~~~
To prevent the problem in *new* environments (that aren't broken yet):
* Option 1:
* *First* run `pip install -U setuptools`,
* *Then* run the command to upgrade your package (e.g. `pip install --upgrade pyramid`)
* Option 2:
* Upgrade pip using :ref:`get-pip <get-pip>`
* *Then* run the command to upgrade your package (e.g. `pip install --upgrade pyramid`)

Internal Details
================
.. _`Requirements File Format`:
This content is now covered in the :doc:`Reference Guide <reference/index>`
Requirements File Format
========================
Each line of the requirements file indicates something to be installed,
and like arguments to :ref:`pip install`, the following forms are supported::
<requirement specifier>
<archive url/path>
[-e] <local project path>
[-e] <vcs project url>
See the :ref:`pip install Examples<pip install Examples>` for examples of all these forms.
A line beginning with ``#`` is treated as a comment and ignored.
Additionally, the following :ref:`Package Index Options <Package Index Options>` are supported
* :ref:`-i, --index-url <--index-url>`
* :ref:`--extra-index-url <--extra-index-url>`
* :ref:`--no-index <--no-index>`
* :ref:`-f, --find-links <--find-links>`
* :ref:`--allow-external <--allow-external>`
* :ref:`--allow-all-external <--allow-external>`
* :ref:`--allow-unverified <--allow-unverified>`
For example, to specify :ref:`--no-index <--no-index>` and 2 :ref:`--find-links <--find-links>` locations:
::
--no-index
--find-links /my/local/archives
--find-links http://some.archives.com/archives
Lastly, if you wish, you can refer to other requirements files, like this::
-r more_requirements.txt
.. _`Requirement Specifiers`:
Requirement Specifiers
======================
pip supports installing from "requirement specifiers" as implemented in
`pkg_resources Requirements <http://packages.python.org/setuptools/pkg_resources.html#requirement-objects>`_
Some Examples:
::
'FooProject >= 1.2'
Fizzy [foo, bar]
'PickyThing<1.6,>1.9,!=1.9.6,<2.0a0,==2.4c1'
SomethingWhoseVersionIDontCareAbout
.. note::
Use single or double quotes around specifiers to avoid ``>`` and ``<`` being interpreted as shell redirects. e.g. ``pip install 'FooProject>=1.2'``.
.. _`Logging`:
Logging
=======
Console logging
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pip offers :ref:`-v, --verbose <--verbose>` and :ref:`-q, --quiet <--quiet>`
to control the console log level. Each option can be used multiple times and
used together. One ``-v`` increases the verbosity by one, whereas one ``-q`` decreases it by
one.
The series of log levels, in order, are as follows::
VERBOSE_DEBUG, DEBUG, INFO, NOTIFY, WARN, ERROR, FATAL
``NOTIFY`` is the default level.
A few examples on how the parameters work to affect the level:
* specifying nothing results in ``NOTIFY``
* ``-v`` results in ``INFO``
* ``-vv`` results in ``DEBUG``
* ``-q`` results in ``WARN``
* ``-vq`` results in ``NOTIFY``
The most practical use case for users is either ``-v`` or ``-vv`` to see
additional logging to help troubleshoot an issue.
.. _`FileLogging`:
File logging
~~~~~~~~~~~~
pip offers the :ref:`--log <--log>` option for specifying a file where a maximum
verbosity log will be kept. This option is empty by default. This log appends
to previous logging.
Additionally, when commands fail (i.e. return a non-zero exit code), pip writes
a "failure log" for the failed command. This log overwrites previous
logging. The default location is as follows:
* On Unix and Mac OS X: :file:`$HOME/.pip/pip.log`
* On Windows, the configuration file is: :file:`%HOME%\\pip\\pip.log`
The option for the failure log, is :ref:`--log-file <--log-file>`.
Both logs add a line per execution to specify the date and what pip executable wrote the log.
Like all pip options, ``--log`` and ``log-file``, can also be set as an environment
variable, or placed into the pip config file. See the :ref:`Configuration`
section.
.. _`Pre Release Versions`:
Pre-release Versions
====================
Starting with v1.4, pip will only install stable versions as specified by `PEP426`_ by default. If
a version cannot be parsed as a compliant `PEP426`_ version then it is assumed
to be a pre-release.
If a Requirement specifier includes a pre-release or development version (e.g. ``>=0.0.dev0``) then
pip will allow pre-release and development versions for that requirement. This does not include
the != flag.
The ``pip install`` command also supports a :ref:`--pre <install_--pre>` flag that will enable
installing pre-releases and development releases.
.. _PEP426: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0426
.. _`Externally Hosted Files`:
Externally Hosted Files
=======================
Starting with v1.4, pip will warn about installing any file that does not come
from the primary index. As of version 1.5, pip defaults to ignoring these files
unless asked to consider them.
The ``pip install`` command supports a
:ref:`--allow-external PROJECT <--allow-external>` option that will enable
installing links that are linked directly from the simple index but to an
external host that also have a supported hash fragment. Externally hosted
files for all projects may be enabled using the
:ref:`--allow-all-external <--allow-all-external>` flag to the ``pip install``
command.
The ``pip install`` command also supports a
:ref:`--allow-unverified PROJECT <--allow-unverified>` option that will enable
installing insecurely linked files. These are either directly linked (as above)
files without a hash, or files that are linked from either the home page or the
download url of a package.
These options can be used in a requirements file. Assuming some fictional
`ExternalPackage` that is hosted external and unverified, then your requirements
file would be like so::
--allow-external ExternalPackage
--allow-unverified ExternalPackage
ExternalPackage
.. _`VCS Support`:
VCS Support
===========
pip supports installing from Git, Mercurial, Subversion and Bazaar, and detects the type of VCS using url prefixes: "git+", "hg+", "bzr+", "svn+".
pip requires a working VCS command on your path: git, hg, svn, or bzr.
VCS projects can be installed in :ref:`editable mode <editable-installs>` (using the :ref:`--editable <install_--editable>` option) or not.
* For editable installs, the clone location by default is "<venv path>/src/SomeProject" in virtual environments, and "<cwd>/src/SomeProject" for global installs.
The :ref:`--src <install_--src>` option can be used to modify this location.
* For non-editable installs, the project is built locally in a temp dir and then installed normally.
The url suffix "egg=<project name>" is used by pip in it's dependency logic to identify the project prior to pip downloading and analyzing the metadata.
Git
~~~
pip currently supports cloning over ``git``, ``git+https`` and ``git+ssh``:
Here are the supported forms::
[-e] git+git://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+https://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+ssh://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
-e git+git@git.myproject.org:MyProject#egg=MyProject
Passing branch names, a commit hash or a tag name is possible like so::
[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@master#egg=MyProject
[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@v1.0#egg=MyProject
[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709#egg=MyProject
Mercurial
~~~~~~~~~
The supported schemes are: ``hg+http``, ``hg+https``,
``hg+static-http`` and ``hg+ssh``.
Here are the supported forms::
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+https://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+ssh://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
You can also specify a revision number, a revision hash, a tag name or a local
branch name like so::
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@da39a3ee5e6b#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@2019#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@v1.0#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@special_feature#egg=MyProject
Subversion
~~~~~~~~~~
pip supports the URL schemes ``svn``, ``svn+svn``, ``svn+http``, ``svn+https``, ``svn+ssh``.
You can also give specific revisions to an SVN URL, like so::
[-e] svn+svn://svn.myproject.org/svn/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] svn+http://svn.myproject.org/svn/MyProject/trunk@2019#egg=MyProject
which will check out revision 2019. ``@{20080101}`` would also check
out the revision from 2008-01-01. You can only check out specific
revisions using ``-e svn+...``.
Bazaar
~~~~~~
pip supports Bazaar using the ``bzr+http``, ``bzr+https``, ``bzr+ssh``,
``bzr+sftp``, ``bzr+ftp`` and ``bzr+lp`` schemes.
Here are the supported forms::
[-e] bzr+http://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+sftp://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+ssh://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+ftp://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+lp:MyProject#egg=MyProject
Tags or revisions can be installed like so::
[-e] bzr+https://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk@2019#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+http://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk@v1.0#egg=MyProject
Finding Packages
================
pip searches for packages on `PyPI <http://pypi.python.org>`_ using the
`http simple interface <http://pypi.python.org/simple>`_,
which is documented `here <http://packages.python.org/setuptools/easy_install.html#package-index-api>`_
and `there <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0301/>`_
pip offers a set of :ref:`Package Index Options <Package Index Options>` for modifying how packages are found.
See the :ref:`pip install Examples<pip install Examples>`.
.. _`SSL Certificate Verification`:
SSL Certificate Verification
============================
Starting with v1.3, pip provides SSL certificate verification over https, for the purpose
of providing secure, certified downloads from PyPI.
Hash Verification
=================
PyPI provides md5 hashes in the hash fragment of package download urls.
pip supports checking this, as well as any of the
guaranteed hashlib algorithms (sha1, sha224, sha384, sha256, sha512, md5).
The hash fragment is case sensitive (i.e. sha1 not SHA1).
This check is only intended to provide basic download corruption protection.
It is not intended to provide security against tampering. For that,
see :ref:`SSL Certificate Verification`
Download Cache
==============
pip offers a :ref:`--download-cache <install_--download-cache>` option for installs to prevent redundant downloads of archives from PyPI.
The point of this cache is *not* to circumvent the index crawling process, but to *just* prevent redundant downloads.
Items are stored in this cache based on the url the archive was found at, not simply the archive name.
If you want a fast/local install solution that circumvents crawling PyPI, see the :ref:`Fast & Local Installs` Cookbook entry.
Like all options, :ref:`--download-cache <install_--download-cache>`, can also be set as an environment variable, or placed into the pip config file.
See the :ref:`Configuration` section.
.. _`editable-installs`:
"Editable" Installs
===================
"Editable" installs are fundamentally `"setuptools develop mode" <http://packages.python.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#development-mode>`_ installs.
You can install local projects or VCS projects in "editable" mode::
$ pip install -e path/to/SomeProject
$ pip install -e git+http://repo/my_project.git#egg=SomeProject
For local projects, the "SomeProject.egg-info" directory is created relative to the project path.
This is one advantage over just using ``setup.py develop``, which creates the "egg-info" directly relative the current working directory.
setuptools & pkg_resources
==========================
Internally, pip uses the `setuptools` package, and the `pkg_resources` module, which are available from the project, `Setuptools`_.
Here are some examples of how pip uses `setuptools` and `pkg_resources`:
* The core of pip's install process uses the `setuptools`'s "install" command.
* Editable ("-e") installs use the `setuptools`'s "develop" command.
* pip uses `pkg_resources` for version parsing, for detecting version conflicts, and to determine what projects are installed,

virtualenv
----------
pip is most nutritious when used with `virtualenv
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`__. One of the reasons pip
doesn't install "multi-version" eggs is that virtualenv removes much of the need
for it. Because pip is installed by virtualenv, just use
``path/to/my/environment/bin/pip`` to install things into that
specific environment.
To tell pip to only run if there is a virtualenv currently activated,
and to bail if not, use::
export PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=true
easy_install
------------
pip was originally written to improve on `easy_install <http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html>`_ in the following ways:
* All packages are downloaded before installation. Partially-completed
installation doesn't occur as a result.
* Care is taken to present useful output on the console.
* The reasons for actions are kept track of. For instance, if a package is
being installed, pip keeps track of why that package was required.
* Error messages should be useful.
* The code is relatively concise and cohesive, making it easier to use
programmatically.
* Packages don't have to be installed as egg archives, they can be installed
flat (while keeping the egg metadata).
* Native support for other version control systems (Git, Mercurial and Bazaar)
* Uninstallation of packages.
* Simple to define fixed sets of requirements and reliably reproduce a
set of packages.
pip doesn't do everything that easy_install does. Specifically:
* It cannot install from eggs. Thats not a problem anymore though because pip
supports the superior binary `wheel format
<https://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_ since the 1.4 release.
* It is incompatible with some packages that extensively customize distutils
or setuptools in their ``setup.py`` files.
buildout
--------
If you are using `zc.buildout
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout>`_ you should look at
`gp.recipe.pip <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gp.recipe.pip>`_ as an
option to use pip and virtualenv in your buildouts.

interpreted as shell redirects. e.g. ``pip install 'FooProject>=1.2'``.
.. _`Pre Release Versions`:
Pre-release Versions
++++++++++++++++++++
Starting with v1.4, pip will only install stable versions as specified by
`PEP426`_ by default. If a version cannot be parsed as a compliant `PEP426`_
version then it is assumed to be a pre-release.
If a Requirement specifier includes a pre-release or development version
(e.g. ``>=0.0.dev0``) then pip will allow pre-release and development versions
for that requirement. This does not include the != flag.
The ``pip install`` command also supports a :ref:`--pre <install_--pre>` flag
that will enable installing pre-releases and development releases.
.. _PEP426: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0426
.. _`Externally Hosted Files`:
Externally Hosted Files
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Starting with v1.4, pip will warn about installing any file that does not come
from the primary index. As of version 1.5, pip defaults to ignoring these files
unless asked to consider them.
The ``pip install`` command supports a
:ref:`--allow-external PROJECT <--allow-external>` option that will enable
installing links that are linked directly from the simple index but to an
external host that also have a supported hash fragment. Externally hosted
files for all projects may be enabled using the
:ref:`--allow-all-external <--allow-all-external>` flag to the ``pip install``
command.
The ``pip install`` command also supports a
:ref:`--allow-unverified PROJECT <--allow-unverified>` option that will enable
installing insecurely linked files. These are either directly linked (as above)
files without a hash, or files that are linked from either the home page or the
download url of a package.
These options can be used in a requirements file. Assuming some fictional
`ExternalPackage` that is hosted external and unverified, then your requirements
file would be like so::
--allow-external ExternalPackage
--allow-unverified ExternalPackage
ExternalPackage
.. _`VCS Support`:
VCS Support
+++++++++++
pip supports installing from Git, Mercurial, Subversion and Bazaar, and detects
the type of VCS using url prefixes: "git+", "hg+", "bzr+", "svn+".
pip requires a working VCS command on your path: git, hg, svn, or bzr.
VCS projects can be installed in :ref:`editable mode <editable-installs>` (using
the :ref:`--editable <install_--editable>` option) or not.
* For editable installs, the clone location by default is "<venv
path>/src/SomeProject" in virtual environments, and "<cwd>/src/SomeProject"
for global installs. The :ref:`--src <install_--src>` option can be used to
modify this location.
* For non-editable installs, the project is built locally in a temp dir and then
installed normally.
The url suffix "egg=<project name>" is used by pip in it's dependency logic to
identify the project prior to pip downloading and analyzing the metadata.
Git
~~~
pip currently supports cloning over ``git``, ``git+https`` and ``git+ssh``:
Here are the supported forms::
[-e] git+git://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+https://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+ssh://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
-e git+git@git.myproject.org:MyProject#egg=MyProject
Passing branch names, a commit hash or a tag name is possible like so::
[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@master#egg=MyProject
[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@v1.0#egg=MyProject
[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709#egg=MyProject
Mercurial
~~~~~~~~~
The supported schemes are: ``hg+http``, ``hg+https``,
``hg+static-http`` and ``hg+ssh``.
Here are the supported forms::
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+https://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+ssh://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
You can also specify a revision number, a revision hash, a tag name or a local
branch name like so::
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@da39a3ee5e6b#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@2019#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@v1.0#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@special_feature#egg=MyProject
Subversion
~~~~~~~~~~
pip supports the URL schemes ``svn``, ``svn+svn``, ``svn+http``, ``svn+https``, ``svn+ssh``.
You can also give specific revisions to an SVN URL, like so::
[-e] svn+svn://svn.myproject.org/svn/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] svn+http://svn.myproject.org/svn/MyProject/trunk@2019#egg=MyProject
which will check out revision 2019. ``@{20080101}`` would also check
out the revision from 2008-01-01. You can only check out specific
revisions using ``-e svn+...``.
Bazaar
~~~~~~
pip supports Bazaar using the ``bzr+http``, ``bzr+https``, ``bzr+ssh``,
``bzr+sftp``, ``bzr+ftp`` and ``bzr+lp`` schemes.
Here are the supported forms::
[-e] bzr+http://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+sftp://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+ssh://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+ftp://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+lp:MyProject#egg=MyProject
Tags or revisions can be installed like so::
[-e] bzr+https://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk@2019#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+http://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk@v1.0#egg=MyProject
Finding Packages
++++++++++++++++
pip searches for packages on `PyPI`_ using the
`http simple interface <http://pypi.python.org/simple>`_,
which is documented `here <http://packages.python.org/setuptools/easy_install.html#package-index-api>`_
and `there <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0301/>`_
pip offers a number of Package Index Options for modifying how packages are found.
See the :ref:`pip install Examples<pip install Examples>`.
.. _`SSL Certificate Verification`:
SSL Certificate Verification
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Starting with v1.3, pip provides SSL certificate verification over https, for the purpose
of providing secure, certified downloads from PyPI.
Hash Verification
+++++++++++++++++
PyPI provides md5 hashes in the hash fragment of package download urls.
pip supports checking this, as well as any of the
guaranteed hashlib algorithms (sha1, sha224, sha384, sha256, sha512, md5).
The hash fragment is case sensitive (i.e. sha1 not SHA1).
This check is only intended to provide basic download corruption protection.
It is not intended to provide security against tampering. For that,
see :ref:`SSL Certificate Verification`
Download Cache
++++++++++++++
pip offers a :ref:`--download-cache <install_--download-cache>` option for
installs to prevent redundant downloads of archives from PyPI.
The point of this cache is *not* to circumvent the index crawling process, but
to *just* prevent redundant downloads.
Items are stored in this cache based on the url the archive was found at, not
simply the archive name.
If you want a fast/local install solution that circumvents crawling PyPI, see
the :ref:`Fast & Local Installs`.
Like all options, :ref:`--download-cache <install_--download-cache>`, can also
be set as an environment variable, or placed into the pip config file. See the
:ref:`Configuration` section.
.. _`editable-installs`:
"Editable" Installs
+++++++++++++++++++
"Editable" installs are fundamentally `"setuptools develop mode"
<http://packages.python.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#development-mode>`_
installs.
You can install local projects or VCS projects in "editable" mode::
$ pip install -e path/to/SomeProject
$ pip install -e git+http://repo/my_project.git#egg=SomeProject
For local projects, the "SomeProject.egg-info" directory is created relative to
the project path. This is one advantage over just using ``setup.py develop``,
which creates the "egg-info" directly relative the current working directory.
Controlling setup_requires
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Setuptools offers the ``setup_requires`` `setup() keyword
<http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#new-and-changed-setup-keywords>`_
for specifying dependencies that need to be present in order for the `setup.py`
script to run. Internally, Setuptools uses ``easy_install`` to fulfill these
dependencies.
pip has no way to control how these dependencies are located. None of the
Package Index Options have an effect.
The solution is to configure a "system" or "personal" `Distutils configuration
file
<http://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html#distutils-configuration-files>`_ to
manage the fulfillment.
For example, to have the dependency located at an alternate index, add this:
::
[easy_install]
index_url = https://my.index-mirror.com
To have the dependency located from a local directory and not crawl PyPI, add this:
::
[easy_install]
allow_hosts = ''
find_links = file:///path/to/local/archives

User Guide
==========
.. contents::
Installing Packages
*******************
pip supports installing from `PyPI`_, version control, local projects, and
directly from distribution files.
The most common scenario is to install from `PyPI`_ using :ref:`Requirement
Specifiers`
::
$ pip install SomePackage # latest version
$ pip install SomePackage==1.0.4 # specific version
$ pip install 'SomePackage>=1.0.4' # minimum version
For more information and examples, see the :ref:`pip install` reference.
.. _`Requirements Files`:
Requirements Files
******************
"Requirements files" are files containing a list of items to be
installed using :ref:`pip install` like so:
::
pip install -r requirements.txt
Details on the format of the files are here: :ref:`Requirements File Format`.
Logically, a Requirements file is just a list of :ref:`pip install` arguments
placed in a file.
In practice, there are 4 common uses of Requirements files:
1. Requirements files are used to hold the result from :ref:`pip freeze` for the
purpose of achieving :ref:`repeatable installations <Repeatability>`. In
this case, your requirement file contains a pinned version of everything that
was installed when `pip freeze` was run.
::
pip freeze > requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Requirements files are used to force pip to properly resolve dependencies.
As it is now, pip `doesn't have true dependency resolution
<https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/988>`_, but instead simply uses the first
specification it finds for a project. E.g if `pkg1` requires `pkg3>=1.0` and
`pkg2` requires `pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0`, and if `pkg1` is resolved first, pip will
only use `pkg3>=1.0`, and could easily end up installing a version of `pkg3`
that conflicts with the needs of `pkg2`. To solve this problem, you can
place `pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0` (i.e. the correct specification) into your
requirements file directly along with the other top level requirements. Like
so:
::
pkg1
pkg2
pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0
3. Requirements files are used to force pip to install an alternate version of a
sub-dependency. For example, suppose `ProjectA` in your requirements file
requires `ProjectB`, but the latest version (v1.3) has a bug, you can force
pip to accept earlier versions like so:
::
ProjectA
ProjectB<1.3
4. Requirements files are used to override a dependency with a local patch that
lives in version control. For example, suppose a dependency,
`SomeDependency` from PyPI has a bug, and you can't wait for an upstream fix.
You could clone/copy the src, make the fix, and place it in vcs with the tag
`sometag`. You'd reference it in your requirements file with a line like so:
::
git+https://myvcs.com/some_dependency@sometag#egg=SomeDependency
If `SomeDependency` was previously a top-level requirement in your
requirements file, then **replace** that line with the new line. If
`SomeDependency` is a sub-dependency, then **add** the new line.
It's important to be clear that pip determines package dependencies using
`install_requires metadata
<http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#declaring-dependencies>`_,
not by discovering `requirements.txt` files embedded in projects.
See also:
* :ref:`Requirements File Format`
* :ref:`pip freeze`
* `"setup.py vs requirements.txt" (an article by Donald Stufft)
<https://caremad.io/blog/setup-vs-requirement/>`_
.. _`Installing from Wheels`:
Installing from Wheels
**********************
"Wheel" is a built, archive format that can greatly speed installation compared
to building and installing from source archives. For more information, see the
`Wheel docs <http://wheel.readthedocs.org>`_ ,
`PEP427 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427>`_, and
`PEP425 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0425>`_
Pip prefers Wheels where they are available. To disable this, use the
:ref:`--no-use-wheel <install_--no-use-wheel>` flag for :ref:`pip install`.
If no satisfactory wheels are found, pip will default to finding source archives.
To install directly from a wheel archive:
::
pip install SomePackage-1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
For the cases where wheels are not available, pip offers :ref:`pip wheel` as a
convenience, to build wheels for all your requirements and dependencies.
:ref:`pip wheel` requires the `wheel package
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wheel>`_ to be installed, which provides the
"bdist_wheel" setuptools extension that it uses.
To build wheels for your requirements and all their dependencies to a local directory:
::
pip install wheel
pip wheel --wheel-dir=/local/wheels -r requirements.txt
And *then* to install those requirements just using your local directory of wheels (and not from PyPI):
::
pip install --no-index --find-links=/local/wheels -r requirements.txt
Uninstalling Packages
*********************
pip is able to uninstall most packages like so:
::
$ pip uninstall SomePackage
pip also performs an automatic uninstall of an old version of a package
before upgrading to a newer version.
For more information and examples, see the :ref:`pip uninstall` reference.
Listing Packages
****************
To list installed packages:
::

Searching for Packages
**********************
pip can search `PyPI`_ for packages using the ``pip search``
command::
$ pip search "query"
The query will be used to search the names and summaries of all
packages.
For more information and examples, see the :ref:`pip search` reference.
.. _`Configuration`:
Configuration
*************
.. _config-file:
Config file
------------
pip allows you to set all command line option defaults in a standard ini
style config file.
The names and locations of the configuration files vary slightly across
platforms.
* On Unix and Mac OS X the configuration file is: :file:`$HOME/.pip/pip.conf`
* On Windows, the configuration file is: :file:`%HOME%\\pip\\pip.ini`
You can set a custom path location for the config file using the environment variable ``PIP_CONFIG_FILE``.
In a virtual environment, an additional config file will be read from the base
directory of the virtualenv (``sys.prefix`` as reported by Python). The base
name of the file is the same as the user configuration file (:file:`pip.conf`
on Unix and OSX, :file:`pip.ini` on Windows). Values in the virtualenv-specific
configuration file take precedence over those in the user's configuration file
(whether from the user home or specified via ``PIP_CONFIG_FILE``).
The names of the settings are derived from the long command line option, e.g.
if you want to use a different package index (``--index-url``) and set the
HTTP timeout (``--default-timeout``) to 60 seconds your config file would
look like this:
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
timeout = 60
index-url = http://download.zope.org/ppix
Each subcommand can be configured optionally in its own section so that every
global setting with the same name will be overridden; e.g. decreasing the
``timeout`` to ``10`` seconds when running the `freeze`
(`Freezing Requirements <./#freezing-requirements>`_) command and using
``60`` seconds for all other commands is possible with:
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
timeout = 60
[freeze]
timeout = 10
Boolean options like ``--ignore-installed`` or ``--no-dependencies`` can be
set like this:
.. code-block:: ini
[install]
ignore-installed = true
no-dependencies = yes
Appending options like ``--find-links`` can be written on multiple lines:
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
find-links =
http://download.example.com
[install]
find-links =
http://mirror1.example.com
http://mirror2.example.com
Environment Variables
---------------------
pip's command line options can be set with environment variables using the
format ``PIP_<UPPER_LONG_NAME>`` . Dashes (``-``) have to be replaced with
underscores (``_``).
For example, to set the default timeout::
export PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=60
This is the same as passing the option to pip directly::
pip --default-timeout=60 [...]
To set options that can be set multiple times on the command line, just add
spaces in between values. For example::
export PIP_FIND_LINKS="http://mirror1.example.com http://mirror2.example.com"
is the same as calling::
pip install --find-links=http://mirror1.example.com --find-links=http://mirror2.example.com
Config Precedence
-----------------
Command line options have precedence over environment variables, which have precedence over the config file.
Within the config file, command specific sections have precedence over the global section.
Examples:
- ``--host=foo`` overrides ``PIP_HOST=foo``
- ``PIP_HOST=foo`` overrides a config file with ``[global] host = foo``
- A command specific section in the config file ``[<command>] host = bar``
overrides the option with same name in the ``[global]`` config file section
Command Completion
------------------
pip comes with support for command line completion in bash and zsh.
To setup for bash::
$ pip completion --bash >> ~/.profile
To setup for zsh::
$ pip completion --zsh >> ~/.zprofile
Alternatively, you can use the result of the ``completion`` command
directly with the eval function of you shell, e.g. by adding the following to your startup file::
eval "`pip completion --bash`"
.. _`Fast & Local Installs`:
Fast & Local Installs
*********************
Often, you will want a fast install from local archives, without probing PyPI.
First, download the archives that fulfill your requirements::
$ pip install --download <DIR> -r requirements.txt
Then, install using :ref:`--find-links <--find-links>` and :ref:`--no-index <--no-index>`::
$ pip install --no-index --find-links=[file://]<DIR> -r requirements.txt
Non-recursive upgrades
************************
``pip install --upgrade`` is currently written to perform a recursive upgrade.
E.g. supposing:
* `SomePackage-1.0` requires `AnotherPackage>=1.0`
* `SomePackage-2.0` requires `AnotherPackage>=1.0` and `OneMorePoject==1.0`
* `SomePackage-1.0` and `AnotherPackage-1.0` are currently installed
* `SomePackage-2.0` and `AnotherPackage-2.0` are the latest versions available on PyPI.
Running ``pip install --upgrade SomePackage`` would upgrade `SomePackage` *and* `AnotherPackage`
despite `AnotherPackage` already being satisifed.
If you would like to perform a non-recursive upgrade perform these 2 steps::
pip install --upgrade --no-deps SomePackage
pip install SomePackage
The first line will upgrade `SomePackage`, but not dependencies like `AnotherPackage`. The 2nd line will fill in new dependencies like `OneMorePackage`.
User Installs
*************
With Python 2.6 came the `"user scheme" for installation
<http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#alternate-installation-the-user-scheme>`_,
which means that all Python distributions support an alternative install
location that is specific to a user. The default location for each OS is
explained in the python documentation for the `site.USER_BASE
<http://docs.python.org/library/site.html#site.USER_BASE>`_ variable. This mode
of installation can be turned on by specifying the :ref:`--user
<install_--user>` option to ``pip install``.
Moreover, the "user scheme" can be customized by setting the
``PYTHONUSERBASE`` environment variable, which updates the value of ``site.USER_BASE``.
To install "SomePackage" into an environment with site.USER_BASE customized to '/myappenv', do the following::
export PYTHONUSERBASE=/myappenv
pip install --user SomePackage
``pip install --user`` follows four rules:
#. When globally installed packages are on the python path, and they *conflict*
with the installation requirements, they are ignored, and *not*
uninstalled.
#. When globally installed packages are on the python path, and they *satisfy*
the installation requirements, pip does nothing, and reports that
requirement is satisfied (similar to how global packages can satisfy
requirements when installing packages in a ``--system-site-packages``
virtualenv).
#. pip will not perform a ``--user`` install in a ``--no-site-packages``
virtualenv (i.e. the default kind of virtualenv), due to the user site not
being on the python path. The installation would be pointless.
#. In a ``--system-site-packages`` virtualenv, pip will not install a package
that conflicts with a package in the virtualenv site-packages. The --user
installation would lack sys.path precedence and be pointless.
To make the rules clearer, here are some examples:
From within a ``--no-site-packages`` virtualenv (i.e. the default kind)::
$ pip install --user SomePackage
Can not perform a '--user' install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv.
From within a ``--system-site-packages`` virtualenv where ``SomePackage==0.3`` is already installed in the virtualenv::
$ pip install --user SomePackage==0.4
Will not install to the user site because it will lack sys.path precedence
From within a real python, where ``SomePackage`` is *not* installed globally::
$ pip install --user SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage
From within a real python, where ``SomePackage`` *is* installed globally, but is *not* the latest version::
$ pip install --user SomePackage
[...]
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade)
$ pip install --user --upgrade SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage
From within a real python, where ``SomePackage`` *is* installed globally, and is the latest version::
$ pip install --user SomePackage
[...]
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade)
$ pip install --user --upgrade SomePackage
[...]
Requirement already up-to-date: SomePackage
# force the install
$ pip install --user --ignore-installed SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage
.. _`Repeatability`:
Ensuring Repeatability
**********************
Three things are required to fully guarantee a repeatable installation using requirements files.
1. The requirements file was generated by ``pip freeze`` or you're sure it only
contains requirements that specify a specific version.
2. The installation is performed using :ref:`--no-deps <install_--no-deps>`.
This guarantees that only what is explicitly listed in the requirements file is
installed.
3. The installation is performed against an index or find-links location that is
guaranteed to *not* allow archives to be changed and updated without a
version increase. Unfortunately, this is *not* true on PyPI. It is possible
for the same pypi distribution to have a different hash over time. Project
authors are allowed to delete a distribution, and then upload a new one with
the same name and version, but a different hash. See `Issue #1175
<https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1175>`_ for plans to add hash
confirmation to pip, or a new "lock file" notion, but for now, know that the `peep
project <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/peep>`_ offers this feature on top of pip
using requirements file comments.
