I'm trying to install a library called gmplot using pip. This worked fine on my Mac but not my Windows 10 machine. I get the following error:

C:\Users\Alex>pip install gmplot
Collecting gmplot

Other stackoverflow threads mention adding proxy details in the pip command, but I don't use a proxy. I've also changed my DNS to Google's DNS but this didn't work.

    For fun I tried this and it works. You don't write anything about your internet setup. One way of solving this is to go to some other windows 10 machine with the same python version and type "pip download gmplot". You can move the downloaded files to a directory on your machine and in that "pip install gmplot --no-index --find-links . ". This is how I install pip downloads on machines with no internet... – 576i May 06 '17 at 08:31
  • Thanks. Not sure what to say about my internet set-up. Just a normal home broadband/wifi connection, no proxy, no VPN, no issues accessing any parts of the internet except in the case above. Unfortunately I don't have another Windows machine but in the worst case I will find one. – Alexis Eggermont May 06 '17 at 08:34

    Thanks but I don't use a proxy. I checked in my settings that this is the case. – Alexis Eggermont May 06 '17 at 12:32

For me the answer was to set the proxy in the .bash_profile in the root directory. If this file is not there create it.

This was done on a Centos System with connection to the internet on a virtual machine.
