NAME¶
pip3-download - description of pip3 download command
DESCRIPTION¶
Download packages from:
- PyPI (and other indexes) using requirement specifiers.
- VCS project urls.
- Local project directories.
- Local or remote source archives.
pip also supports downloading from "requirements files", which provide an easy way to specify a whole environment to be downloaded.
USAGE¶
python -m pip download [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ... python -m pip download [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ... python -m pip download [options] <vcs project url> ... python -m pip download [options] <local project path> ... python -m pip download [options] <archive url/path> ...
OPTIONS¶
- -c, --constraint <file>
- Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option can be
used multiple times.
(environment variable: PIP_CONSTRAINT)
- --build-constraint <file>
- Constrain build dependencies using the given constraints file. This option
can be used multiple times.
(environment variable: PIP_BUILD_CONSTRAINT)
- -r, --requirement <file>
- Install from the given requirements file. The file or URL can be in pip's
requirements.txt format, or pylock.toml format. pylock.toml support is
experimental. This option can be used multiple times.
(environment variable: PIP_REQUIREMENT)
- --requirements-from-script <file>
- Install dependencies of the given script file as defined by PEP 723 inline
metadata.
(environment variable: PIP_REQUIREMENTS_FROM_SCRIPT)
- --no-deps
- Don't install package dependencies.
(environment variable: PIP_NO_DEPS, PIP_NO_DEPENDENCIES)
- --src <dir>
- Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a virtualenv
is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs is
"<current dir>/src".
(environment variable: PIP_SRC, PIP_SOURCE, PIP_SOURCE_DIR, PIP_SOURCE_DIRECTORY)
- --require-hashes
- Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable installs.
This option is implied when any package in a requirements file has a
--hash option.
(environment variable: PIP_REQUIRE_HASHES)
- --progress-bar <progress_bar>
- Specify whether the progress bar should be used. In 'auto' mode, --quiet
will suppress all progress bars. [auto, on, off, raw] (default: auto)
(environment variable: PIP_PROGRESS_BAR)
- --no-build-isolation
- Disable isolation when building a modern source distribution. Build
dependencies specified by PEP 518 must be already installed if this option
is used.
(environment variable: PIP_NO_BUILD_ISOLATION)
- --check-build-dependencies
- Check the build dependencies.
(environment variable: PIP_CHECK_BUILD_DEPENDENCIES)
- --ignore-requires-python
- Ignore the Requires-Python information.
(environment variable: PIP_IGNORE_REQUIRES_PYTHON)
- -d, --dest <dir>
- Download packages into <dir>.
(environment variable: PIP_DEST, PIP_DESTINATION_DIR, PIP_DESTINATION_DIRECTORY)
- --platform <platform>
- Only use wheels compatible with <platform>. Defaults to the platform
of the running system. Use this option multiple times to specify multiple
platforms supported by the target interpreter.
(environment variable: PIP_PLATFORM)
- --python-version <python_version>
- The Python interpreter version to use for wheel and
"Requires-Python" compatibility checks. Defaults to a version
derived from the running interpreter. The version can be specified using
up to three dot-separated integers (e.g. "3" for 3.0.0,
"3.7" for 3.7.0, or "3.7.3"). A major-minor version
can also be given as a string without dots (e.g. "37" for
3.7.0).
(environment variable: PIP_PYTHON_VERSION)
- --implementation <implementation>
- Only use wheels compatible with Python implementation
<implementation>, e.g. 'pp', 'jy', 'cp', or 'ip'. If not specified,
then the current interpreter implementation is used. Use 'py' to force
implementation-agnostic wheels.
(environment variable: PIP_IMPLEMENTATION)
- --abi <abi>
- Only use wheels compatible with Python abi <abi>, e.g. 'pypy_41'. If
not specified, then the current interpreter abi tag is used. Use this
option multiple times to specify multiple abis supported by the target
interpreter. Generally you will need to specify --implementation,
--platform, and --python-version when using this option.
(environment variable: PIP_ABI)
- --group <[path:]group>
- Install a named dependency-group from a "pyproject.toml" file.
If a path is given, the name of the file must be
"pyproject.toml". Defaults to using "pyproject.toml"
in the current directory.
(environment variable: PIP_GROUP)
- --no-clean
- Don't clean up build directories.
(environment variable: PIP_NO_CLEAN)
