Set pip’s --proxy Option in PyCharm’s Package Installer

In PyCharm’s Python Packages tool window, right-click the chosen package and select Install with Options. For an ordinary HTTP proxy, the pip option can be the following. The HTTP proxy list provides candidate endpoints for a public package-index route:

--proxy http://proxy.example:8080

The interpreter settings’ Available Packages dialog also exposes an Options field. Choose the intended interpreter first: package installation belongs to that environment.

When comparing the GUI with a terminal, use the same Python executable explicitly. A POSIX virtual environment might use:

/path/to/project/.venv/bin/python -m pip install     --proxy http://proxy.example:8080 package-name

Replace the executable path and package with the project’s actual values. A bare pip or another activated terminal can refer to a different environment, with different configuration and trust inputs.

For an authenticated proxy, use pip’s supported credential-bearing URL with reserved account characters encoded correctly. A package repository account is separate.

PyCharm also supports Conda package management for Conda interpreters. Identify which manager performed the failed operation before supplying pip-only options. An IDE connection check, a package index listing and the later artifact download exercise different requests.
