SSL Issue while installing any package using pip behind the proxy

Question

Facing issues while installing tensorflow or any other package behind the proxy :

First try :

Run the command :

pip install --upgrade tensorflow
         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar issue after some update mix-ups between pip and apt. Following the suggestions on some SO page that I don't recall I've launched

sudo python -m easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSL 

and got the things running again.

LE: might've misread the problem.

Answer 2

I would suspect that you might need to set your proxy environment variables on your machine to use your proxy. Try setting the following (assumming your on a Linux or Mac OS):

export HTTP_PROXY=http://user:passwd@xxx.xx.x.xx:80
export HTTPS_PROXY=https://user:passwd@xxx.xx.x.xx:443

You don't necessarily need to set the HTTPS_PROXY variable but it can't hurt to do so

Then try running without the flags

pip install tensorflow
