Question

I am trying to use pip behind a proxy at work.

One of the answers from this post suggested using CNTLM. I installed and configured it per this other post, but runnin

Answer 1

I had the same issue : behind a corporate proxy with auth at work, I couldn't have pip work, as well as Sublime Text 2 (well, it worked with custom setup of my proxy settings). For pip (and I'll try that on git), I solved it installing cntlm proxy. It was very simple to configure :

1. Edit cntlm.ini
2. Edit "Username", "Domain", "Password" fields
3. Add a "Proxy" line, with your proxy settings : server:port
4. Make sure the line "NoProxy" integrates "localhost" (like that by default)
5. Note the default port : 3128
6. Save and that's it.

To test that works, just launch a new command line tool, and try :

pip install django --proxy=localhost:3128

That worked for me. Hope this will help you.

Answer 2

for windows; set your proxy in command prompt as
set HTTP_PROXY=domain\username:password@myproxy:myproxyport

example:
set http_proxy=IND\namit.kewat:xl123456@192.168.180.150:8880

I solved the problem with PIP in Windows using "Fiddler" (https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler). After downloading and installing, do the following:

"Rules" => click "Automatically Authenticate"

Example: pip install virtualenv -proxy 127.0.0.1:8888

Just open your prompt and use.

Answer 5

I am also no expert in this but I made it work by setting the all_proxy variable in the ~/.bashrc file. To open ~/.bashrc file and edit it from a terminal run following commands,

gedit ~/.bashrc &

Add following at the end of file,

export all_proxy="http://x.y.z.w:port"

Then either open a new terminal or run following in the same terminal,

source ~/.bashrc

Just setting http_proxy and https_proxy variables aren't enough for simple usage pip install somepackage. Though somehow sudo -E pip install somepackage works, but this have given me some problem in case I am using a local installation of Anaconda in my users' folder.

P.S. - I am using Ubuntu 16.04.
