Downloading Binary Package on Windows

From StackOverflow

As the other responses pointed out, one solution is to install Visual Studio 2015. However, it takes a few GBs of disk space. One way around is to install precompiled binaries.

The webpage http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs contains precompiled binaries for many Python packages.

The pip command I actually want

alias pup="pip install --upgrade --no-cache -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple/"

To install locally

pip install --no-index --find-links=dest/ -r requirements.txt

To download using download command

pip download --dest "Pypis" -r requirements.txt

Downloading specific python version and platform (Windows batch version)

pip download ^
    --only-binary=:all:^
    --platform win32^
    --python-version 36^
    --implementation cp^
    --dest "Pypis"^
    -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple/^
    -r requirements.txt
