How to use pip on windows behind an authenticating proxy

Question

My computer is running windows behind a proxy on a windows server (using active directory), and I can\'t figure out how to get through it with pip (in python3).

Answer 1

You may also run into problems with certificates from your proxy. There are plenty of answers here on how to retrieve your proxy's certificate.

On a Windows host, to allow pip to clear your proxy, you may want to set an environment variable such as:

PIP_CERT=C:\path\to\certificate\file\in\pem\form\myproxycert.pem

You can also use the --cert argument to PIP with the same result.
