17 Download packages from:
18 • PyPI (and other indexes) using requirement specifiers.
20 • VCS project urls.
22 • Local project directories.
24 • Local or remote source archives.
26 pip also supports downloading from "requirements files", which provide
28 an easy way to specify a whole environment to be downloaded.

32 python -m pip download [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ...
33 python -m pip download [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ...
34 python -m pip download [options] <vcs project url> ...
35 python -m pip download [options] <local project path> ...
36 python -m pip download [options] <archive url/path> ...

39 -c, --constraint <file>
40 Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option
41 can be used multiple times.
42 -r, --requirement <file>
44 Install from the given requirements file. This option can be
45 used multiple times.
46 --no-deps
48 Don't install package dependencies.
49 --global-option <options>
51 Extra global options to be supplied to the setup.py call before
52 the install command.
53 --no-binary <format_control>
55 Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and
56 each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either ":all:" to
57 disable all binary packages, ":none:" to empty the set (notice
58 the colons), or one or more package names with commas between
59 them (no colons). Note that some packages are tricky to compile
60 and may fail to install when this option is used on them.
61 --only-binary <format_control>
63 Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and
64 each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either ":all:" to
65 disable all source packages, ":none:" to empty the set, or one
66 or more package names with commas between them. Packages without
67 binary distributions will fail to install when this option is
68 used on them.
69 --prefer-binary
71 Prefer older binary packages over newer source packages.
72 --src <dir>
74 Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a
75 virtualenv is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs
76 is "<current dir>/src".
77 --pre Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip
79 only finds stable versions.
80 --require-hashes
82 Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable
83 installs. This option is implied when any package in a require‐
84 ments file has a --hash option.
85 --progress-bar <progress_bar>
87 Specify type of progress to be displayed
88 [off|on|ascii|pretty|emoji] (default: on)
89 --no-build-isolation
91 Disable isolation when building a modern source distribution.
92 Build dependencies specified by PEP 518 must be already in‐
93 stalled if this option is used.
94 --use-pep517
96 Use PEP 517 for building source distributions (use
97 --no-use-pep517 to force legacy behaviour).
98 --ignore-requires-python
100 Ignore the Requires-Python information.
101 -d, --dest <dir>
103 Download packages into <dir>.
104 --platform <platform>
106 Only use wheels compatible with <platform>. Defaults to the
107 platform of the running system. Use this option multiple times
108 to specify multiple platforms supported by the target inter‐
109 preter.
110 --python-version <python_version>
112 The Python interpreter version to use for wheel and "Re‐
113 quires-Python" compatibility checks. Defaults to a version de‐
114 rived from the running interpreter. The version can be specified
115 using up to three dot-separated integers (e.g. "3" for 3.0.0,
116 "3.7" for 3.7.0, or "3.7.3"). A major-minor version can also be
117 given as a string without dots (e.g. "37" for 3.7.0).
118 --implementation <implementation>
120 Only use wheels compatible with Python implementation <implemen‐
121 tation>, e.g. 'pp', 'jy', 'cp', or 'ip'. If not specified, then
122 the current interpreter implementation is used. Use 'py' to
123 force implementation-agnostic wheels.
124 --abi <abi>
126 Only use wheels compatible with Python abi <abi>, e.g.
127 'pypy_41'. If not specified, then the current interpreter abi
128 tag is used. Use this option multiple times to specify multiple
129 abis supported by the target interpreter. Generally you will
130 need to specify --implementation, --platform, and --python-ver‐
131 sion when using this option.
132 --no-clean
134 Don't clean up build directories.
