Python package install using pip behind a Proxy

Problem:

If you are behind a Proxy and need to install Python packages, the Analyst Client package manager sometimes fails.

Or if you are installing Python packages on a Node Manager (i.e Python Service) you don't have a package manager GUI.

Solution:

Use the Analyst Client to give you the path to Python.  Then use a command window to CD into that path.

Or find your Python Services ( tibco\tsnm\<version>\nm\services\Python Service Windows-<version>-<id>\python).

Then execute: python.exe -m pip install --proxy=http://<proxyserver>:<port> <pkg_name>

Replace the proxyserver, port & pkg_name with valid values.

If your proxy refuses because it requires a username and password, you can also try:

python.exe -m pip install --proxy=http://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:<port> <pkg_name>
