I am trying to install some of the packages (Example: openpyxl) from local file system, however pip installer is always looking package from pypi.org or pypi.python.org and not from the local path.

Below are the commands, I have used.

pip install openpyxl c:\users\test\openpyxl-2.6.3.tar.gz

easy_install openpyxl c:\users\test\openpyxl-2.6.3.tar.gz

After the above commands are executed:I get the below errors:

Searching for openpyxl
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/openpyxl/
Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/openpyxl/

Installer pointing to pypi.python.org and not the local filesystem.

Encountered in:

Operating System: Windows 10
Python Version: 3.7
Pip Version:10.0.1

Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Thanks, however I referred the above link before posting this question. I used the similar syntax while installing, however pip is trying to install from pypi.org and not from local drive. I don't want to use virtual environment or requirements.txt to install packages. I would like to install packages just simple like this pip install localpath. Hope I have explained my question clearly. – R_K Sep 15 '19 at 04:55
  • There is clearly mentioned that `--no-index --find-links` options. – Lamanus Sep 15 '19 at 05:02

your command

pip install openpyxl c:\users\test\openpyxl-2.6.3.tar.gz

should be 

pip install c:\users\test\openpyxl-2.6.3.tar.gz

as pip install accepts local paths to .tar.gz files directly.

Note that your pip is also quite outdated. You might want to consider upgrading it to the newest version
