[issue35135] pip install --download option does not exist

New submission from Pedro <pgacv2+pythonbugs@gmail.com>: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#installing-from-local-packages states that you can use a --directory option with the install subcommand. This fails with pip 18.1 on both Python 2.7 on SLES12 and Python 3.6 on Windows 10: ========== pip install --download my_dir -r reqs.txt Usage: pip install [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ... pip install [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ... pip install [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ... pip install [options] [-e] <local project path> ... pip install [options] <archive url/path> ... no such option: --download ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 329069 nosy: docs@python, pgacv2 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pip install --download option does not exist type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35135> _______________________________________

Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi@gmail.com> added the comment: Thanks for the report. The issue tracker deals with reports for CPython and issues related to pip are not maintained here. Please file a doc issue at https://github.com/pypa/pip/ . `--download` was deprecated with https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/3085 and PR reports it's for removal with pip 10. Usage of `pip download` as a toplevel command is encouraged and can be used. Relevant doc needs to be updated at https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/master/docs/html/user_guide.rst.
