.. _`pip install`: pip install ----------- .. contents:: Usage ***** .. pip-command-usage:: install Description *********** .. pip-command-description:: install Overview ++++++++ Pip install has several stages: 1. Identify the base requirements. The user supplied arguments are processed here. 2. Resolve dependencies. What will be installed is determined here. 3. Build wheels. All the dependencies that can be are built into wheels. 4. Install the packages (and uninstall anything being upgraded/replaced). Argument Handling +++++++++++++++++ When looking at the items to be installed, pip checks what type of item each is, in the following order: 1. Project or archive URL. 2. Local directory (which must contain a ``setup.py``, or pip will report an error). 3. Local file (a sdist or wheel format archive, following the naming conventions for those formats). 4. A requirement, as specified in PEP 440. Each item identified is added to the set of requirements to be satisfied by the install. Working Out the Name and Version ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For each candidate item, pip needs to know the project name and version. For wheels (identified by the ``.whl`` file extension) this can be obtained from the filename, as per the Wheel spec. For local directories, or explicitly specified sdist files, the ``setup.py egg_info`` command is used to determine the project metadata. For sdists located via an index, the filename is parsed for the name and project version (this is in theory slightly less reliable than using the ``egg_info`` command, but avoids downloading and processing unnecessary numbers of files). Any URL may use the ``#egg=name`` syntax (see :ref:`VCS Support`) to explicitly state the project name. Satisfying Requirements +++++++++++++++++++++++ Once pip has the set of requirements to satisfy, it chooses which version of each requirement to install using the simple rule that the latest version that satisfies the given constraints will be installed (but see :ref:`here <Pre Release Versions>` for an exception regarding pre-release versions). Where more than one source of the chosen version is available, it is assumed that any source is acceptable (as otherwise the versions would differ). Installation Order ++++++++++++++++++ As of v6.1.0, pip installs dependencies before their dependents, i.e. in "topological order". This is the only commitment pip currently makes related to order. While it may be coincidentally true that pip will install things in the order of the install arguments or in the order of the items in a requirements file, this is not a promise. In the event of a dependency cycle (aka "circular dependency"), the current implementation (which might possibly change later) has it such that the first encountered member of the cycle is installed last. For instance, if quux depends on foo which depends on bar which depends on baz, which depends on foo:: pip install quux ... Installing collected packages baz, bar, foo, quux pip install bar ... Installing collected packages foo, baz, bar Prior to v6.1.0, pip made no commitments about install order. The decision to install topologically is based on the principle that installations should proceed in a way that leaves the environment usable at each step. This has two main practical benefits: 1. Concurrent use of the environment during the install is more likely to work. 2. A failed install is less likely to leave a broken environment. Although pip would like to support failure rollbacks eventually, in the mean time, this is an improvement. Although the new install order is not intended to replace (and does not replace) the use of ``setup_requires`` to declare build dependencies, it may help certain projects install from sdist (that might previously fail) that fit the following profile: 1. They have build dependencies that are also declared as install dependencies using ``install_requires``. 2. ``python setup.py egg_info`` works without their build dependencies being installed. 3. For whatever reason, they don't or won't declare their build dependencies using ``setup_requires``. .. _`Requirements File Format`: 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:: [[--option]...] <requirement specifier> [; markers] [[--option]...] <archive url/path> [-e] <local project path> [-e] <vcs project url> For details on requirement specifiers, see :ref:`Requirement Specifiers`. See the :ref:`pip install Examples<pip install Examples>` for examples of all these forms. A line that begins with ``#`` is treated as a comment and ignored. Whitespace followed by a ``#`` causes the ``#`` and the remainder of the line to be treated as a comment. A line ending in an unescaped ``\`` is treated as a line continuation and the newline following it is effectively ignored. Comments are stripped *before* line continuations are processed. The following 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:`--no-binary <install_--no-binary>` * :ref:`--only-binary <install_--only-binary>` * :ref:`--require-hashes <--require-hashes>` 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 If you wish, you can refer to other requirements files, like this:: -r more_requirements.txt You can also refer to :ref:`constraints files <Constraints Files>`, like this:: -c some_constraints.txt .. _`Example Requirements File`: Example Requirements File ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use ``pip install -r example-requirements.txt`` to install:: # ####### example-requirements.txt ####### # ###### Requirements without Version Specifiers ###### nose nose-cov beautifulsoup4 # ###### Requirements with Version Specifiers ###### # See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#version-specifiers docopt == 0.6.1 # Version Matching.

Generally speaking, a requirement specifier is composed of a project name followed by optional :term:`version specifiers <pypug:Version Specifier>`. `PEP508`_ contains a full specification of the format of a requirement (``pip`` does not support the ``url_req`` form of specifier at this time). Some examples: :: SomeProject SomeProject == 1.3 SomeProject >=1.2,<.2.0 SomeProject[foo, bar] SomeProject~=1.4.2 Since version 6.0, pip also supports specifiers containing `environment markers <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0426/#environment-markers>`_ like so: :: SomeProject ==5.4 ; python_version < '2.7' SomeProject; sys_platform == 'win32' Environment markers are supported in the command line and in requirements files. .. note:: Use quotes around specifiers in the shell when using ``>``, ``<``, or when using environment markers. Don't use quotes in requirement files. [1]_ .. _`Per-requirement Overrides`: Per-requirement Overrides +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Since version 7.0 pip supports controlling the command line options given to ``setup.py`` via requirements files. This disables the use of wheels (cached or otherwise) for that package, as ``setup.py`` does not exist for wheels. The ``--global-option`` and ``--install-option`` options are used to pass options to ``setup.py``. For example: :: FooProject >= 1.2 --global-option="--no-user-cfg" \ --install-option="--prefix='/usr/local'" \ --install-option="--no-compile" The above translates roughly into running FooProject's ``setup.py`` script as: :: python setup.py --no-user-cfg install --prefix='/usr/local' --no-compile Note that the only way of giving more than one option to ``setup.py`` is through multiple ``--global-option`` and ``--install-option`` options, as shown in the example above. The value of each option is passed as a single argument to the ``setup.py`` script. Therefore, a line such as the following is invalid and would result in an installation error. :: # Invalid. Please use '--install-option' twice as shown above. FooProject >= 1.2 --install-option="--prefix=/usr/local --no-compile" .. _`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 .. _`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 "project name" component of the url suffix "egg=<project name>-<version>" is used by pip in its dependency logic to identify the project prior to pip downloading and analyzing the metadata. The optional "version" component of the egg name is not functionally important. It merely provides a human-readable clue as to what version is in use. For projects where setup.py is not in the root of project, "subdirectory" component is used. Value of "subdirectory" component should be a path starting from root of the project to where setup.py is located. So if your repository layout is: - pkg_dir/ - setup.py # setup.py for package ``pkg`` - some_module.py - other_dir/ - some_file - some_other_file You'll need to use ``pip install -e vcs+protocol://repo_url/#egg=pkg&subdirectory=pkg_dir``. 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. 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>`. .. _`SSL Certificate Verification`: SSL Certificate Verification ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Starting with v1.3, pip provides SSL certificate verification over https, to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks against PyPI downloads. .. _`Caching`: Caching +++++++ Starting with v6.0, pip provides an on-by-default cache which functions similarly to that of a web browser. While the cache is on by default and is designed do the right thing by default you can disable the cache and always access PyPI by utilizing the ``--no-cache-dir`` option. When making any HTTP request pip will first check its local cache to determine if it has a suitable response stored for that request which has not expired. If it does then it simply returns that response and doesn't make the request. If it has a response stored, but it has expired, then it will attempt to make a conditional request to refresh the cache which will either return an empty response telling pip to simply use the cached item (and refresh the expiration timer) or it will return a whole new response which pip can then store in the cache. When storing items in the cache, pip will respect the ``CacheControl`` header if it exists, or it will fall back to the ``Expires`` header if that exists. This allows pip to function as a browser would, and allows the index server to communicate to pip how long it is reasonable to cache any particular item. While this cache attempts to minimize network activity, it does not prevent network access altogether. If you want a local install solution that circumvents accessing PyPI, see :ref:`Installing from local packages`. The default location for the cache directory depends on the Operating System: Unix :file:`~/.cache/pip` and it respects the ``XDG_CACHE_HOME`` directory. OS X :file:`~/Library/Caches/pip`. Windows :file:`<CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA>\\pip\\Cache` .. _`Wheel cache`: Wheel Cache ~~~~~~~~~~~ Pip will read from the subdirectory ``wheels`` within the pip cache directory and use any packages found there. This is disabled via the same ``--no-cache-dir`` option that disables the HTTP cache. The internal structure of that is not part of the pip API. As of 7.0, pip makes a subdirectory for each sdist that wheels are built from and places the resulting wheels inside. Pip attempts to choose the best wheels from those built in preference to building a new wheel. Note that this means when a package has both optional C extensions and builds `py` tagged wheels when the C extension can't be built that pip will not attempt to build a better wheel for Pythons that would have supported it, once any generic wheel is built. To correct this, make sure that the wheels are built with Python specific tags - e.g. pp on Pypy. When no wheels are found for an sdist, pip will attempt to build a wheel automatically and insert it into the wheel cache. .. _`hash-checking mode`: Hash-Checking Mode ++++++++++++++++++ Since version 8.0, pip can check downloaded package archives against local hashes to protect against remote tampering. To verify a package against one or more hashes, add them to the end of the line:: FooProject == 1.2 --hash=sha256:2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824 \ --hash=sha256:486ea46224d1bb4fb680f34f7c9ad96a8f24ec88be73ea8e5a6c65260e9cb8a7 (The ability to use multiple hashes is important when a package has both binary and source distributions or when it offers binary distributions for a variety of platforms.) The recommended hash algorithm at the moment is sha256, but stronger ones are allowed, including all those supported by ``hashlib``. However, weaker ones such as md5, sha1, and sha224 are excluded to avoid giving a false sense of security. Hash verification is an all-or-nothing proposition. Specifying a ``--hash`` against any requirement not only checks that hash but also activates a global *hash-checking mode*, which imposes several other security restrictions: * Hashes are required for all requirements. This is because a partially-hashed requirements file is of little use and thus likely an error: a malicious actor could slip bad code into the installation via one of the unhashed requirements. Note that hashes embedded in URL-style requirements via the ``#md5=...`` syntax suffice to satisfy this rule (regardless of hash strength, for legacy reasons), though you should use a stronger hash like sha256 whenever possible. * Hashes are required for all dependencies. An error results if there is a dependency that is not spelled out and hashed in the requirements file. * Requirements that take the form of project names (rather than URLs or local filesystem paths) must be pinned to a specific version using ``==``. This prevents a surprising hash mismatch upon the release of a new version that matches the requirement specifier. * ``--egg`` is disallowed, because it delegates installation of dependencies to setuptools, giving up pip's ability to enforce any of the above. .. _`--require-hashes`: Hash-checking mode can be forced on with the ``--require-hashes`` command-line option:: $ pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt ... Hashes are required in --require-hashes mode (implicitly on when a hash is specified for any package). These requirements were missing hashes, leaving them open to tampering. These are the hashes the downloaded archives actually had. You can add lines like these to your requirements files to prevent tampering. pyelasticsearch==1.0 --hash=sha256:44ddfb1225054d7d6b1d02e9338e7d4809be94edbe9929a2ec0807d38df993fa more-itertools==2.2 --hash=sha256:93e62e05c7ad3da1a233def6731e8285156701e3419a5fe279017c429ec67ce0 This can be useful in deploy scripts, to ensure that the author of the requirements file provided hashes. It is also a convenient way to bootstrap your list of hashes, since it shows the hashes of the packages it fetched. It fetches only the preferred archive for each package, so you may still need to add hashes for alternatives archives using :ref:`pip hash`: for instance if there is both a binary and a source distribution. The :ref:`wheel cache <Wheel cache>` is disabled in hash-checking mode to prevent spurious hash mismatch errors. These would otherwise occur while installing sdists that had already been automatically built into cached wheels: those wheels would be selected for installation, but their hashes would not match the sdist ones from the requirements file. A further complication is that locally built wheels are nondeterministic: contemporary modification times make their way into the archive, making hashes unpredictable across machines and cache flushes. Compilation of C code adds further nondeterminism, as many compilers include random-seeded values in their output. However, wheels fetched from index servers are the same every time. They land in pip's HTTP cache, not its wheel cache, and are used normally in hash-checking mode. The only downside of having the wheel cache disabled is thus extra build time for sdists, and this can be solved by making sure pre-built wheels are available from the index server. Hash-checking mode also works with :ref:`pip download` and :ref:`pip wheel`. A :ref:`comparison of hash-checking mode with other repeatability strategies <Repeatability>` is available in the User Guide. .. warning:: Beware of the ``setup_requires`` keyword arg in :file:`setup.py`. The (rare) packages that use it will cause those dependencies to be downloaded by setuptools directly, skipping pip's hash-checking. If you need to use such a package, see :ref:`Controlling setup_requires<controlling-setup-requires>`. .. warning:: Be careful not to nullify all your security work when you install your actual project by using setuptools directly: for example, by calling ``python setup.py install``, ``python setup.py develop``, or ``easy_install``. Setuptools will happily go out and download, unchecked, anything you missed in your requirements file—and it’s easy to miss things as your project evolves. To be safe, install your project using pip and :ref:`--no-deps <install_--no-deps>`. Instead of ``python setup.py develop``, use... :: pip install --no-deps -e . Instead of ``python setup.py install``, use... :: pip install --no-deps . Hashes from PyPI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PyPI provides an MD5 hash in the fragment portion of each package download URL, like ``#md5=123...``, which pip checks as a protection against download corruption. Other hash algorithms that have guaranteed support from ``hashlib`` are also supported here: sha1, sha224, sha384, sha256, and sha512. Since this hash originates remotely, it is not a useful guard against tampering and thus does not satisfy the ``--require-hashes`` demand that every package have a local hash. .. _`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 (See the :ref:`VCS Support` section above for more information on VCS-related syntax.) 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`: 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/ Build System Interface ++++++++++++++++++++++ In order for pip to install a package from source, ``setup.py`` must implement the following commands:: setup.py egg_info [--egg-base XXX] setup.py install --record XXX [--single-version-externally-managed] [--root XXX] [--compile|--no-compile] [--install-headers XXX] The ``egg_info`` command should create egg metadata for the package, as described in the setuptools documentation at http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#egg-info-create-egg-metadata-and-set-build-tags The ``install`` command should implement the complete process of installing the package to the target directory XXX. To install a package in "editable" mode (``pip install -e``), ``setup.py`` must implement the following command:: setup.py develop --no-deps This should implement the complete process of installing the package in "editable" mode. All packages will be attempted to built into wheels:: setup.py bdist_wheel -d XXX One further ``setup.py`` command is invoked by ``pip install``:: setup.py clean This command is invoked to clean up temporary commands from the build. (TODO: Investigate in more detail when this command is required). No other build system commands are invoked by the ``pip install`` command. Installing a package from a wheel does not invoke the build system at all. .. _PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ .. _setuptools extras: http://packages.python.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#declaring-extras-optional-features-with-their-own-dependencies .. _`pip install Options`: Options ******* .. pip-command-options:: install .. pip-index-options:: .. _`pip install Examples`: Examples ******** 1) Install `SomePackage` and its dependencies 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 2) Install a list of requirements specified in a file.

[1] This is true with the exception that pip v7.0 and v7.0.1 required quotes around specifiers containing environment markers in requirement files. .. _PEP440: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440 .. _PEP508: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0508
