I'm not able to install pip in Docker. Here's my Dockerfile: FROM ubuntu:14.04 # Install dependencies RUN apt-get update -y RUN apt-get install -y git curl apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt php5-mysql python3.4 python-pip When building, I get. Answer (1 of 5): Option 1: Dockerfile with base ubuntu image codeFROM ubuntu RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y python-pip /codeOption 2: Dockerfile with python base image codeFROM python /code. Then, you’re running pip to install the exact versions of every Python dependency needed for the project in a “requirements.txt” file. You’re not using the Docker cache as well as you could. The good news is: there’s a simple way to fix that. Use The Docker Cache.

- pip install
- Description
- VCS Support
- Description
Install packages from:
- PyPI (and other indexes) using requirement specifiers.
- VCS project urls.
- Local project directories.
- Local or remote source archives.
pip also supports installing from “requirements files”, which providean easy way to specify a whole environment to be installed.
Each line of the requirements file indicates something to be installed,and like arguments to pip install, the following forms are supported:
Since version 6.0, pip also supports markers using the “; ” separator.Examples:
See the pip install Examples for examples of all these forms.
A line that begins with #
is treated as a comment and ignored. Whitespacefollowed by a #
causes the #
and the remainder of the line to betreated as a comment.
Additionally, the following Package Index Options are supported:
For example, to specify –no-index and 2 –find-links locations:
Lastly, if you wish, you can refer to other requirements files, like this:
pip supports installing from “requirement specifiers” as implemented inpkg_resources Requirements
Some Examples:
Note
Use single or double quotes around specifiers when using them in a shell to avoid >
and <
beinginterpreted as shell redirects. e.g. pipinstall'FooProject>=1.2'
.Don’t use single or double quotes in a requirements.txt
file.
Starting with v1.4, pip will only install stable versions as specified byPEP426 by default. If a version cannot be parsed as a compliant PEP426version then it is assumed to be a pre-release.
If a Requirement specifier includes a pre-release or development version(e.g. >=0.0.dev0
) then pip will allow pre-release and development versionsfor that requirement. This does not include the != flag.
The pipinstall
command also supports a –pre flagthat will enable installing pre-releases and development releases.
Starting with v1.4, pip will warn about installing any file that does not comefrom the primary index. As of version 1.5, pip defaults to ignoring these filesunless asked to consider them.
The pipinstall
command supports a–allow-external PROJECT option that will enableinstalling links that are linked directly from the simple index but to anexternal host that also have a supported hash fragment. Externally hostedfiles for all projects may be enabled using the–allow-all-external flag to the pipinstall
command.
The pipinstall
command also supports a–allow-unverified PROJECT option that will enableinstalling insecurely linked files. These are either directly linked (as above)files without a hash, or files that are linked from either the home page or thedownload url of a package.
These options can be used in a requirements file. Assuming some fictionalExternalPackage that is hosted external and unverified, then your requirementsfile would be like so:
pip supports installing from Git, Mercurial, Subversion and Bazaar, and detectsthe type of VCS using url prefixes: “git+”, “hg+”, “bzr+”, “svn+”.
pip requires a working VCS command on your path: git, hg, svn, or bzr.
VCS projects can be installed in editable mode (usingthe –editable option) or not.
- For editable installs, the clone location by default is “<venvpath>/src/SomeProject” in virtual environments, and “<cwd>/src/SomeProject”for global installs. The –src option can be used tomodify this location.
- For non-editable installs, the project is built locally in a temp dir and theninstalled normally.
The “project name” component of the url suffix “egg=<project name>-<version>”is used by pip in its dependency logic to identify the project priorto pip downloading and analyzing the metadata. The optional “version”component of the egg name is not functionally important. It merelyprovides a human-readable clue as to what version is in use.
pip currently supports cloning over git
, git+https
and git+ssh
:
Here are the supported forms:
Passing branch names, a commit hash or a tag name is possible like so:
The supported schemes are: hg+http
, hg+https
,hg+static-http
and hg+ssh
.
Here are the supported forms:
You can also specify a revision number, a revision hash, a tag name or a localbranch name like so:
pip supports the URL schemes svn
, svn+svn
, svn+http
, svn+https
, svn+ssh
.
You can also give specific revisions to an SVN URL, like so:
which will check out revision 2019. @{20080101}
would also checkout the revision from 2008-01-01. You can only check out specificrevisions using -esvn+...
.

pip supports Bazaar using the bzr+http
, bzr+https
, bzr+ssh
,bzr+sftp
, bzr+ftp
and bzr+lp
schemes.
Here are the supported forms:
Tags or revisions can be installed like so:
pip searches for packages on PyPI using thehttp simple interface,which is documented hereand there
pip offers a number of Package Index Options for modifying how packages are found.
See the pip install Examples.
Starting with v1.3, pip provides SSL certificate verification over https, for the purposeof providing secure, certified downloads from PyPI.
Starting with v6.0, pip provides an on by default cache which functionssimilarly to that of a web browser. While the cache is on by default and isdesigned do the right thing by default you can disable the cache and alwaysaccess PyPI by utilizing the --no-cache-dir
option.
When making any HTTP request pip will first check it’s local cache to determineif it has a suitable response stored for that request which has not expired. Ifit does then it simply returns that response and doesn’t make the request.
If it has a response stored, but it has expired, then it will attempt to make aconditional request to refresh the cache which will either return an emptyresponse telling pip to simply use the cached item (and refresh the expirationtimer) or it will return a whole new response which pip can then store in thecache.
When storing items in the cache pip will respect the CacheControl
headerif it exists, or it will fall back to the Expires
header if that exists.This allows pip to function as a browser would, and allows the index serverto communicate to pip how long it is reasonable to cache any particular item.
While this cache attempts to minimize network activity, it does not preventnetwork access all together. If you want a fast/local install solution thatcircumvents accessing PyPI, see Fast & Local Installs.
The default location for the cache directory depends on the Operating System:
- Unix
~/.cache/pip
and it respects theXDG_CACHE_HOME
directory.- OS X
~/Library/Caches/pip
.- Windows
<CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA>pipCache
PyPI provides md5 hashes in the hash fragment of package download urls.
pip supports checking this, as well as any of theguaranteed hashlib algorithms (sha1, sha224, sha384, sha256, sha512, md5).
The hash fragment is case sensitive (i.e. sha1 not SHA1).

This check is only intended to provide basic download corruption protection.It is not intended to provide security against tampering. For that,see SSL Certificate Verification
“Editable” installs are fundamentally “setuptools develop mode”installs.
You can install local projects or VCS projects in “editable” mode:
Docker Pip Install Requirements.txt Fails
(See the VCS Support section above for more information on VCS-related syntax.)
For local projects, the “SomeProject.egg-info” directory is created relative tothe project path. This is one advantage over just using setup.pydevelop
,which creates the “egg-info” directly relative the current working directory.
Setuptools offers the setup_requires
setup() keywordfor specifying dependencies that need to be present in order for the setup.pyscript to run. Internally, Setuptools uses easy_install
to fulfill thesedependencies.
pip has no way to control how these dependencies are located. None of thePackage Index Options have an effect.
The solution is to configure a “system” or “personal” Distutils configurationfile tomanage the fulfillment.
For example, to have the dependency located at an alternate index, add this:
To have the dependency located from a local directory and not crawl PyPI, add this:
In order for pip to install a package from source, setup.py
must implementthe following commands:
The egg_info
command should create egg metadata for the package, asdescribed in the setuptools documentation athttp://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#egg-info-create-egg-metadata-and-set-build-tags
The install
command should implement the complete process of installing thepackage to the target directory XXX.
To install a package in “editable” mode (pipinstall-e
), setup.py
mustimplement the following command:
This should implement the complete process of installing the package in“editable” mode.
One further setup.py
command is invoked by pipinstall
:
This command is invoked to clean up temporary commands from the build. (TODO:Investigate in more detail when this command is required).
No other build system commands are invoked by the pipinstall
command.
Installing a package from a wheel does not invoke the build system at all.
