.IP \(bu 2
Local project directories.
.IP \(bu 2
Local or remote source archives.
.UNINDENT
.sp
pip also supports downloading from \(dqrequirements files\(dq, which provide
an easy way to specify a whole environment to be downloaded.

.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-c, \-\-constraint <file>
Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option can be used multiple times.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-r, \-\-requirement <file>
Install from the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.

.TP
.B \-\-no\-binary <format_control>
Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either \(dq:all:\(dq to disable all binary packages, \(dq:none:\(dq to empty the set (notice the colons), or one or more package names with commas between them (no colons). Note that some packages are tricky to compile and may fail to install when this option is used on them.
.UNINDENT

.TP
.B \-\-only\-binary <format_control>
Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either \(dq:all:\(dq to disable all source packages, \(dq:none:\(dq to empty the set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Packages without binary distributions will fail to install when this option is used on them.

.B \-\-prefer\-binary
Prefer binary packages over source packages, even if the source packages are newer.
.UNINDENT

.TP
.B \-\-src <dir>
Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a virtualenv is \(dq<venv path>/src\(dq. The default for global installs is \(dq<current dir>/src\(dq.
.UNINDENT

.TP
.B \-\-python\-version <python_version>
The Python interpreter version to use for wheel and \(dqRequires\-Python\(dq
compatibility checks. Defaults to a version derived from the running
interpreter. The version can be specified using up to three dot\-separated
integers (e.g. \(dq3\(dq for 3.0.0, \(dq3.7\(dq for 3.7.0, or \(dq3.7.3\(dq). A major\-minor
version can also be given as a string without dots (e.g. \(dq37\(dq for 3.7.0).

.TP
.B \-\-implementation <implementation>
Only use wheels compatible with Python implementation <implementation>, e.g. \(aqpp\(aq, \(aqjy\(aq, \(aqcp\(aq,  or \(aqip\(aq. If not specified, then the current interpreter implementation is used.  Use \(aqpy\(aq to force implementation\-agnostic wheels.
