How do I set up a proxy for pip?

To set up a proxy for pip, you can use the following command: pip install --proxy http://proxy.server:port package_name.

What if I need to use a username and password for the proxy?

You can include your credentials in the command like this: pip install --proxy http://username:[email protected]:port package_name.

Is there a way to set the proxy globally for all pip commands?

Yes, you can set the proxy globally by adding it to your pip configuration file. Edit or create a file at ~/.pip/pip.conf and add:

[global]
proxy = http://proxy.server:port

What if I want to unset the proxy later?

You can unset the proxy by removing the line from the pip configuration file or by using the command: pip config unset global.proxy.
