NAME
       pip - A tool for installing and managing Python packages

SYNOPSIS
       pip <command> [options]

       pip3 <command> [options]

DESCRIPTION
       pip  is	a  Python package installer, recommended for installing Python
       packages which are not available in the Debian archive.	 It  can  work
       with  version  control repositories (currently only Git, Mercurial, and
       Bazaar repositories), logs output  extensively,	and  prevents  partial
       installs by downloading all requirements before starting installation.

       On  Debian,  pip	 is  the  command  to use when installing packages for
       Python 2, while pip3 is the command to use when installing packages for
       Python 3.

COMMANDS
       The  command comes before any options.  The following commands are rec‐
       ognized:

       help   Show help for commands.

       install
	      Install packages.

       uninstall
	      Uninstall packages.

       freeze Output installed packages in requirements format.

       list   List installed packages.

       show   Show information about installed packages.

       search Search PyPI for packages.

       wheel  Build wheels from your requirements.

INSTALL OPTIONS
       pip install installs packages from:

	  · PyPI (a.k.a. The Cheeseshop) and other indexes, using requirements
	    specifiers.

	  · VCS project urls.

	  · Local project directories.

	  · Local or remote source archives

       -e,--editable <path/url>
	      Install  a  project  in editable mode (i.e.  setuptools "develop
	      mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.

       -r,--requirement <file>
	      Install from the given requirements file.	 This  option  can  be
	      used multiple times.

       -b,--build <dir>
	      Directory	 to unpack packages into and build in.	The default in
	      a virtualenv is "<venv path>/build".   The  default  for	global
	      installs is "<OS temp dir>/pip_build_<username>".

       -t,--target <dir>
	      Install packages into <dir>.

       -d,--download <dir>
	      Download packages into <dir> instead of installing them, regard‐
	      less of what's already installed.

       --download-cache <dir>
	      Cache downloaded packages in <dir>.

       --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".

       -U, --upgrade
	      Upgrade all packages to  the  newest  available  version.	  This
	      process  is  recursive  regardless  of  whether  a dependency is
	      already satisfied.

       --force-reinstall
	      When upgrading, reinstall all packages even if they are  already
	      up-to-date.

       -I, --ignore-installed
	      Ignore the installed packages (reinstalling instead).

       --no-deps
	      Don't install package dependencies.

       --install-option <options>
	      Extra  arguments	to be supplied to the setup.py install command
	      (use like --install-option ="--install-scripts=/usr/local/bin").
	      Use  multiple  --install-option options to pass multiple options
	      to setup.py install. If you are using an option with a directory
	      path, be sure to use absolute path.

       --global-option <options>
	      Extra  global options to be supplied to the setup.py call before
	      the install command.

       --user Install using the user scheme.

       --egg  Install packages as eggs, not 'flat', like  pip  normally	 does.
	      This option is not about installing from eggs. (WARNING: Because
	      this option overrides pip's normal install  logic,  requirements
	      files may not behave as expected.)

       --root <dir>
	      Install everything relative to this alternate root directory.

       --compile
	      Compile py files to pyc.

       --no-compile
	      Do not compile py files to pyc.

       --no-use-wheel
	      Do not find and prefer wheel archives when searching indexes and
	      find-links locations.

       --pre  Include pre-release and development versions.  By	 default,  pip
	      only finds stable versions.

       --no-clean
	      Don't clean up build directories.

       Package Index Options:

       -i,--index-url <url>
	      Base     URL     of     Python	 Package     Index    (default
	      https://pypi.python.org/simple/).

       --extra-index-url <url>
	      Extra URLs of package indexes to use in addition to --index-url.

       --no-index
	      Ignore  package  index  (only  looking  at   --find-links	  URLs
	      instead).

       -f,--find-links <url>
	      If  a  url  or path to an html file, then parse for links to ar‐
	      chives. If a local path or file:// url that's a directory,  then
	      look for archives in the directory listing.

       --allow-external <package>
	      Allow the installation of externally hosted files

       --allow-all-external
	      Allow the installation of all externally hosted files

       --allow-unverified <package>
	      Allow the installation of insecure and unverifiable files

       --process-dependency-links
	      Enable the processing of dependency links.

UNINSTALL OPTIONS
       pip is able to uninstall most installed packages. Known exceptions are:

	  · Pure  distutils  packages  installed with python setup.py install,
	    which leave behind	no  metadata  to  determine  what  files  were
	    installed.

	  · Script wrappers installed by python setup.py develop.

       -r,--requirement <file>
	      Uninstall	 all  the  packages  listed  in the given requirements
	      file.  This option can be used multiple times.

       -y, --yes
	      Don't ask for confirmation of uninstall deletions.
