.. _`pip download`: ============ pip download ============ .. contents:: Usage ===== .. tab:: Unix/macOS .. pip-command-usage:: download "python -m pip" .. tab:: Windows .. pip-command-usage:: download "py -m pip" Description =========== .. pip-command-description:: download Overview -------- ``pip download`` does the same resolution and downloading as ``pip install``, but instead of installing the dependencies, it collects the downloaded distributions into the directory provided (defaulting to the current directory). This directory can later be passed as the value to ``pip install --find-links`` to facilitate offline or locked down package installation. ``pip download`` with the ``--platform``, ``--python-version``, ``--implementation``, and ``--abi`` options provides the ability to fetch dependencies for an interpreter and system other than the ones that pip is running on. ``--only-binary=:all:`` or ``--no-deps`` is required when using any of these options. It is important to note that these options all default to the current system/interpreter, and not to the most restrictive constraints (e.g. platform any, abi none, etc). To avoid fetching dependencies that happen to match the constraint of the current interpreter (but not your target one), it is recommended to specify all of these options if you are specifying one of them. Generic dependencies (e.g. universal wheels, or dependencies with no platform, abi, or implementation constraints) will still match an over- constrained download requirement. Options ======= .. pip-command-options:: download .. pip-index-options:: download Examples ======== #. Download a package and all of its dependencies .. tab:: Unix/macOS .. code-block:: shell python -m pip download SomePackage python -m pip download -d . SomePackage # equivalent to above python -m pip download --no-index --find-links=/tmp/wheelhouse -d /tmp/otherwheelhouse SomePackage .. tab:: Windows .. code-block:: shell py -m pip download SomePackage py -m pip download -d . SomePackage # equivalent to above py -m pip download --no-index --find-links=/tmp/wheelhouse -d /tmp/otherwheelhouse SomePackage #. Download a package and all of its dependencies with OSX specific interpreter constraints. This forces OSX 10.10 or lower compatibility. Since OSX deps are forward compatible, this will also match ``macosx-10_9_x86_64``, ``macosx-10_8_x86_64``, ``macosx-10_8_intel``, etc. It will also match deps with platform ``any``. Also force the interpreter version to ``27`` (or more generic, i.e. ``2``) and implementation to ``cp`` (or more generic, i.e. ``py``). .. tab:: Unix/macOS .. code-block:: shell python -m pip download \ --only-binary=:all: \ --platform macosx-10_10_x86_64 \ --python-version 27 \ --implementation cp \ SomePackage .. tab:: Windows .. code-block:: shell py -m pip download ^ --only-binary=:all: ^ --platform macosx-10_10_x86_64 ^ --python-version 27 ^ --implementation cp ^ SomePackage #. Download a package and its dependencies with linux specific constraints. Force the interpreter to be any minor version of py3k, and only accept ``cp34m`` or ``none`` as the abi. .. tab:: Unix/macOS .. code-block:: shell python -m pip download \ --only-binary=:all: \ --platform linux_x86_64 \ --python-version 3 \ --implementation cp \ --abi cp34m \ SomePackage .. tab:: Windows .. code-block:: shell py -m pip download ^ --only-binary=:all: ^ --platform linux_x86_64 ^ --python-version 3 ^ --implementation cp ^ --abi cp34m ^ SomePackage #. Force platform, implementation, and abi agnostic deps. .. tab:: Unix/macOS .. code-block:: shell python -m pip download \ --only-binary=:all: \ --platform any \ --python-version 3 \ --implementation py \ --abi none \ SomePackage .. tab:: Windows .. code-block:: shell py -m pip download ^ --only-binary=:all: ^ --platform any ^ --python-version 3 ^ --implementation py ^ --abi none ^ SomePackage #. Even when overconstrained, this will still correctly fetch the pip universal wheel. .. tab:: Unix/macOS .. code-block:: console $ python -m pip download \ --only-binary=:all: \ --platform linux_x86_64 \ --python-version 33 \ --implementation cp \ --abi cp34m \ pip>=8 .. code-block:: console $ ls pip-8.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl pip-8.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl .. tab:: Windows .. code-block:: console C:\> py -m pip download ^ --only-binary=:all: ^ --platform linux_x86_64 ^ --python-version 33 ^ --implementation cp ^ --abi cp34m ^ pip>=8 .. code-block:: console C:\> dir pip-8.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl pip-8.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
