Installing Python packages from local file system folder to virtualenv with pip

What about::

pip install --help...  -e, --editable <path/url>   Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools                              "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.

eg, pip install -e /srv/pkg

where /srv/pkg is the top-level directory where 'setup.py' can be found.

I am pretty sure that what you are looking for is called --find-links option.

You can do

pip install mypackage --no-index --find-links file:///srv/pkg/mypackage

I am installing pyfuzzybut is is not in PyPI; it returns the message: No matching distribution found for pyfuzzy.

I tried the accepted answer

pip install  --no-index --find-links=file:///Users/victor/Downloads/pyfuzzy-0.1.0 pyfuzzy

But it does not work either and returns the following error:

Ignoring indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simple Collecting pyfuzzy Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyfuzzy (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pyfuzzy

At last , I have found a simple good way there: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/reference/pip_install.html

Install a particular source archive file.$ pip install ./downloads/SomePackage-1.0.4.tar.gz$ pip install http://my.package.repo/SomePackage-1.0.4.zip

So the following command worked for me:

pip install ../pyfuzzy-0.1.0.tar.gz.

Hope it can help you.
