pip install fails on guest Linux Mint 15
- by synergetic
On my Windows 7 PC, I installed VMware VM for Linux Mint 15. Windows PC is behind corporate firewall /proxy server. Now inside Linux I issued:
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
Then created ~/projects folder and python virtual environment:
mkdir projects
cd projects
virtualenv venv
Then activated my virtual env:
. venv/bin/activate
So far no problem. Then tried to install python libraries, for example markupsafe:
pip install markupsafe
It throws an error:
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement markupsafe
No distributions at all found for markupsafe
Storing complete log in /home/me/.pip/pip.log
Inside pip.log I found:
<urlopen error [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer>
Installing any other library throws similar error. What's wrong here?
