On Ubuntu  you can set proxy by using  export http proxy http   username password proxy port export https proxy http   username password proxy port   or if you are having SOCKS error use  export all proxy http   username password proxy port   Then run pip   sudo -E pip3 install  packageName

At least for pip 1 3 1  it honors the http proxy and https proxy environment variables  Make sure you define both  as it will access the PYPI index using https   export https proxy  http    lt proxy server gt   lt port gt   pip install TwitterApi

The pip s proxy parameter is  according to pip --help  in the form scheme    user passwd  proxy server port  You should use the following   pip install --proxy http   user password proxyserver port TwitterApi   Also  the HTTP PROXY env var should be respected   Note that in earlier versions  couldn t track down the change in the code  sorry  but the doc was updated here   you had to leave the scheme    part out for it to work  i e  pip install --proxy user password proxyserver port

Old thread  I know  but for future reference  the --proxy option is now passed with an      Example     sudo pip install --proxy http   yourproxy yourport package name

at least pip3 also works without      however  instead of  http  you might need  https   Final command  which worked for me   sudo pip3 install --proxy https    proxy   port   BINARY
