pip install whl file off-line without network

I am trying to install off line the python pkgs - argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl as the following
pip install --ignore-installed --no-index --find-links /pkgs/argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Ignoring indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simple
You must give at least one requirement to install (maybe you meant "pip install /pkgs/argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl"?)
but the installation failed on - Ignoring indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simpleIgnoring
what is the right way to install off-line ( without network internet ) the whl file - argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
we run the pip on rhel 7.x machines with python 2.7
we also tried the following but other error appears and without success
pip install --ignore-installed --no-index --find-links /pkgs argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
seems that the direction to the right syntax is
pip install --use-wheel --no-index --find-links="/pkgs" "argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl"
but when I add the flag --ignore-installed as
pip install --ignore-installed --use-wheel --no-index --find-links="/pkgs" "argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl"
then we get
exception:

is there any reason you need to ignore installed.
I don't know the exactly what causes the problem, but pip cannot see the file you are trying to install
some things that could be wrong:
Did you look if the file still exist after
pip install --use-wheel --no-index --find-links="/pkgs" "argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3 none-any.whl"
and it can be accessed by a command without root privilege.
Another reason for your problem could be that
--ignore-installed
forces pip to not use the file

pip._vendor.pep517.wrappers.BackendUnavailable error while installing cryptography

I'm trying to install cryptography to my system, but I get this error:

Any idea what could be the problem, or how to solve it?
Thanks for the help in advance!

I did not find any uniform solution to this problem. You can try the following troubleshooting steps. one of them should work.
Upgrade the pip version.
Change the library/package version.
If you are installing from source, try a different .whl package or use tar.gz.
Use --no-use-pep517 with your pip install command (didn't work for me though, but I see it worked for some).

I got the same error with a different library and --no-use-pep517 did not help. However this did:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

I've also tried
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
but I get back
'pip3' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I'm not too sure what the error is, and googling hasn't gotten me any results

I also had the same issue. I'm using Anaconda, and I managed to install it with these commands:
conda create -n tensorflow
activate tensorflow
pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
This worked for me, and probably this will work for miniconda too.

How do I work with this permissions error, and make virtualenv work properly?

I've always had permission issues when running/modifying the default OSX python interpreter. Currently I use PyEnv (https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv) which installs separate user modifiable python interpreters and together with pyenv-virtualenv (https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenv) it works like a charm. I've never had issues since the change.

I recently had similar issues setting up a new machine, I found this solution worked best.

A more detailed explanation is contained within the same question.

TLDR: install a user-modifiable version of python brew install python then you can just pip install.

Python Pip Install "Egg" Error (Pandas and other modules)

Having issues installing some python modules (for example pandas) and also had some issues installing ipython notebook.
This error seems to have come up before for other folks (Python pip install fails: invalid command egg_info), but they were using Python 2.7, whereas I'm using 2.6 (default with my Mac OS 10.6). Also I tried easy_install -U setuptools and pip install --upgrade setuptools but neither worked.
This is the error I get for installing pandas:
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/Wm/WmmbYincEnuCrAMtGBudAk+++TM/-Tmp-/pip_build_AWal/pandas
Storing debug log for failure in /Users/AWal/Library/Logs/pip.log
For installing iPython, this is the error that I get:

Any thoughts on what to do?

When I do sudo pip install pandas (another module that I can't install), I get a long long traceback with the end error message:

And traceback (a sample of it of the 100 or so lines) looks like this:

A permission Denied message would suggest you to run your command as root as suggested by Hackaholic.
try sudo pip install YOUR_PACKAGE
You might also want to have a look at virtualenv to use a more isolated environment.
Under debian based distributions, you might install python-virtualenv package with apt-get install python-virtualenv.
Then create a virtual environment names whatever by typing virtualenv whatever (this will create a folder whatever inside your current folder.
Then cd to it and type bin/activate to enter this virtual environment.
From there try again your pip install command.
Might help
UPDATE :
You might try to use the suggested solutions available here
To sumup, try to add export ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future inside ~/.bash_profile

This question comes first in Google, but the second one actually worked:
pip install -U setuptools
pip install ez_setup
