Proxy shall be used. For example:

python.exe -m pip install numpy --proxy="proxy.com:8080"

where "proxy.com:8080" is proxy server address and port. This can be found in OS settings.

How to get them:

1. Windows: What Is a Proxy or Proxy Server
2. Linux How can I find out the proxy address I am behind?
3. OSX: How can I get Mac OS X's proxy information in a Bash script?

Answer 2

To bypass the firewall you can use proxy

pip install numpy --proxy <domain\user:password@proxyaddress:port>

eg.,

pip install numpy --proxy http://<username>:<password>@proxy.xyz.com:2180

Do you by any chance use Anaconda?

I was hitting my head against the wall for hours trying to install Django using cmd, and it just was not working! I opened up the Anaconda Prompt, ran the usual

py -m pip install Django

command, and hey presto! Django installed!!
