You can install pip  or any other package  with easy install almost as described in the first answer  However you will need a HTTPS proxy  too  The full sequence of commands is   set http proxy http   proxy myproxy com set https proxy http   proxy myproxy com easy install pip   You might also want to add a port to the proxy  such as http s  proxy http   proxy myproxy com 8080

It looks like get-pip py has been updated to use the environment variables http proxy and https proxy   Windows   set http proxy http   proxy myproxy com set https proxy https   proxy myproxy com python get-pip py   Linux OS X   export http proxy http   proxy myproxy com export https proxy https   proxy myproxy com sudo -E python get-pip py   However if this still doesn t work for you  you can always install pip through a proxy using setuptools  easy install by setting the same environment variables   Windows   set http proxy http   proxy myproxy com set https proxy https   proxy myproxy com easy install pip   Linux OS X   export http proxy http   proxy myproxy com export https proxy https   proxy myproxy com sudo -E easy install pip   Then once it s installed  use   pip install --proxy  user password server port  packagename   From the pip man page      --proxy              Have pip use a proxy server to access sites  This can be specified              using  user password proxy server port  notation  If the password              is left out  pip will ask for it
