'SSLError' installing with pip

I'm trying to install Django on a Windows 10 system.

Whatever I try to install with pip on cmd, I get these errors:

Collecting django

I've tried a lot of things from other questions but none is working.

pip install --upgrade pip --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org

pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host pypi.org django
Solution

  • I asked a colleague who automatically knew what to do. I just had to set the proxy variables:

    set https_proxy=http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080
set http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080

    and it works.
