Pip 无法在 ubuntu 服务器上安装任何东西

Question

I had deleted an existing virtual environment. I created a new one and activated it. Now I am trying to install site packages using

pip install -r requirements.txt

But I keep getting the error

Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/ Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement BeautifulSoup==3.2.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))

Now I know that the packages are really old but this is running on python 2.7.6. I am also not able to install anything through pip. I have tried

pip install numpy

But it shows the same errors. As per the similar questions answered before the suggestion is to use https://pypi.python.org which I have already done but still facing these errors. Would love to hear your suggestions.

Answer 1

Might be a problem with having an old version of pip.

Try pip install --upgrade pip and then try installing the requirements again.

Answer 2

Problem is pip tries to create lockfile in cache directory

Try running pip install --upgrade pip --no-cache-dir
