pip install -find-links search order

I am trying to install a package built by myself, but there is a package with same name on PYPI.

I tried with pip install my_package==1.2.0 --find-links page_html_with_link_to_package, but it downloaded the package from PYPI with same version 1.2.0.

Then I tried with pip install my_package==1.2.0 --find-links page_html_with_link_to_package --no-index, and it downloaded my package.

It's that normal? And if there is any other ways to download my package without --no-index?

Thanks!

Solution

  • Yes, this is normal. Check these examples below on official documentation of pip install, example 9. Install from alternative package repositories > Install from a local flat directory containing archives (and don’t scan indexes):

    pip install --no-index --find-links=file:///local/dir/ SomePackage
pip install --no-index --find-links=/local/dir/ SomePackage
pip install --no-index --find-links=relative/dir/ SomePackage

    or if you have it hosted somewhere else, then you can just use:

    pip install --index-url http://my.package.repo/simple/ SomePackage
