not have valid or any HTTPS.

containing the private key and the certificate
in PEM format.

--no-color Suppress colored output
and the help for pip download
Output:
$ pip download --help
Usage:
pip download [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ...
pip download [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ...
pip download [options] <vcs project url> ...
pip download [options] <local project path> ...
pip download [options] <archive url/path> ...
Description:
Download packages from:
- PyPI (and other indexes) using requirement specifiers.
- VCS project urls.
- Local project directories.
- Local or remote source archives.
pip also supports downloading from "requirements files", which provide
an easy way to specify a whole environment to be downloaded.
Download Options:
-c, --constraint <file> Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option can be used multiple
times.
-r, --requirement <file> Install from the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.
-b, --build <dir> Directory to unpack packages into and build in. Note that an initial build still takes
place in a temporary directory. The location of temporary directories can be controlled
by setting the TMPDIR environment variable (TEMP on Windows) appropriately. When passed,
build directories are not cleaned in case of failures.
--no-deps Don't install package dependencies.
--global-option <options> Extra global options to be supplied to the setup.py call before the install command.
--no-binary <format_control>
Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the
existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all binary packages, :none: to empty the
set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Note that some packages are
tricky to compile and may fail to install when this option is used on them.
--only-binary <format_control>
Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the
existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all source packages, :none: 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.
--prefer-binary Prefer older binary packages over newer source packages.
--src <dir> Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a virtualenv is "<venv
path>/src". The default for global installs is "<current dir>/src".
--pre Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.
--no-clean Don't clean up build directories.
--require-hashes Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable installs. This option is
implied when any package in a requirements file has a --hash option.
--progress-bar <progress_bar>
Specify type of progress to be displayed [pretty|off|emoji|on|ascii] (default: on)
--no-build-isolation Disable isolation when building a modern source distribution. Build dependencies
specified by PEP 518 must be already installed if this option is used.
--use-pep517 Use PEP 517 for building source distributions (use --no-use-pep517 to force legacy
behaviour).
-d, --dest <dir> Download packages into <dir>.
--platform <platform> Only use wheels compatible with <platform>. Defaults to the platform of the running
system.
--python-version <python_version>
The Python interpreter version to use for wheel and "Requires-Python" 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. "3" for 3.0.0, "3.7" for 3.7.0,
or "3.7.3"). A major-minor version can also be given as a string without dots (e.g. "37"
for 3.7.0).
--implementation <implementation>
Only use wheels compatible with Python implementation <implementation>, e.g. 'pp', 'jy',
'cp', or 'ip'. If not specified, then the current interpreter implementation is used.
Use 'py' to force implementation-agnostic wheels.
--abi <abi> Only use wheels compatible with Python abi <abi>, e.g. 'pypy_41'. If not specified, then
the current interpreter abi tag is used. Generally you will need to specify
--implementation, --platform, and --python-version when using this option.
Package Index Options:
-i, --index-url <url> Base URL of the Python Package Index (default https://pypi.org/simple). This should point
to a repository compliant with PEP 503 (the simple repository API) or a local directory
laid out in the same format.
--extra-index-url <url> Extra URLs of package indexes to use in addition to --index-url. Should follow the same
rules as --index-url.
--no-index Ignore package index (only looking at --find-links URLs instead).
-f, --find-links <url> If a url or path to an html file, then parse for links to archives. If a local path or
file:// url that's a directory, then look for archives in the directory listing.
General Options:
-h, --help Show help.
--isolated Run pip in an isolated mode, ignoring environment variables and user configuration.
-v, --verbose Give more output. Option is additive, and can be used up to 3 times.
-V, --version Show version and exit.
-q, --quiet Give less output. Option is additive, and can be used up to 3 times (corresponding to
WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL logging levels).
--log <path> Path to a verbose appending log.
--proxy <proxy> Specify a proxy in the form [user:passwd@]proxy.server:port.
--retries <retries> Maximum number of retries each connection should attempt (default 5 times).
--timeout <sec> Set the socket timeout (default 15 seconds).
--exists-action <action> Default action when a path already exists: (s)witch, (i)gnore, (w)ipe, (b)ackup, (a)bort.
--trusted-host <hostname> Mark this host as trusted, even though it does not have valid or any HTTPS.
--cert <path> Path to alternate CA bundle.
--client-cert <path> Path to SSL client certificate, a single file containing the private key and the
certificate in PEM format.
--cache-dir <dir> Store the cache data in <dir>.
--no-cache-dir Disable the cache.
--disable-pip-version-check
