# [Fixed] Connection error: [SSL CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]

The «connection error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed» occurs when a firewall is preventing you from reaching the pypi servers when trying to install a package.

To solve the error, run the pip install command with the —trusted-host option.

If you got the error when using the requests module, click on the following subheading:

Open your shell and run one of the following commands, depending on your operating system and your version of Python.

Note that the commands contain placeholder. Make sure to replace the placeholder with the name of the package you’re trying to install.

Copied!
pip install package-name> --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org # 👇️ pip3 (for Python 3) pip3 install package-name> --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org # 👇️ if you don't have pip in PATH python -m pip install package-name> --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org # 👇️ for Python3 python3 -m pip install package-name> --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org # 👇️ py alias (Windows) py -m pip install package-name> --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org

If you get a permissions error, try prefixing the command with sudo , or use the —user option.

Copied!
pip install package-name> --user --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org

The —trusted-host option marks a host as trusted.

This helps when you try to reach the pypi servers from behind a firewall.

Alternatively, you can add the trusted hosts to your pip.conf (macOS and Linux) or pip.ini (Windows) file, so you don’t have to do it every time you need to install a package.

# Add trusted hosts to your pip.conf or pip.ini file

The location of your pip.conf (macOS and Linux) or pip.ini (Windows) is going to be different depending on your operating system.

This section of the docs shows the different locations of the config file under «User».

For Linux, the location is $HOME/.config/pip/pip.conf .

For macOS, the location is $HOME/Library/Application Support/pip/pip.conf or $HOME/.config/pip/pip.conf .

For Windows, the location is %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini .

Copied!
# 👇️ Windows %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini # 👇️ same as the following (Windows) C:\Users\username>\AppData\Roaming\pip\pip.ini # ---------------------------------------------------- # 👇️ macOS $HOME/Library/Application Support/pip/pip.conf # 👇️ macOS $HOME/.config/pip/pip.conf # ---------------------------------------------------- # 👇️ Linux $HOME/.config/pip/pip.conf

The pip.conf (Linux or macOS) or pip.ini file should look as follows.

Copied!
[global] trusted-host = pypi.python.org pypi.org files.pythonhosted.org

# Using a command to update your pip.ini file

An alternative to manually editing your pip.conf or pip.ini file is to use a command.

Copied!
pip config set global.trusted-host "pypi.python.org pypi.org files.pythonhosted.org" --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org

The command automatically adds the trusted hosts to your pip.conf or pip.ini file and prints the location of the file.

This is quite convenient because finding the pip.conf or pip.ini file on your operating system might be more difficult than expected.

If you are unable to find the pip.conf or pip.ini file and want to add the trusted hosts manually, run the pip config -v list command.

Copied!
pip config -v list pip3 config -v list

Once you set the trusted-host variable in the pip.conf or pip.ini file, you don’t have to use the —trusted-host option every time you pip install a module.

# Disable SSL certificate validation when using requests

When using the requests library, you might get the error:

Copied!
 requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 1] \_ssl.c:503: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='google.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:833)'),))

If you got the error when using the requests module, requests was unable to verify the SSL certificate of the site.

Set the verify keyword argument to False to disable the SSL certificate validation for the request.

Note that you should only disable SSL certificate validation during local development or testing as it could make your application vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Copied!
import requests def make_request(): try: url = 'https://reqres.in/api/users' # 👇️ set verify to False response = requests.get(url, verify=False, timeout=30) parsed = response.json() print(parsed) except Exception as e: print(e) make_request()

The code sample sets the verify keyword arguments to False which disables SSL certificate validation.

Copied!
response = requests.get(url, verify=False, timeout=30)

If you have a .pem certificate file locally, set the verify keyword argument to the path to the .pem file.

Copied!
requests.get('https://github.com', verify='/path/to/certfile')

For example, your call to requests.get might look similar to the following.

Copied!
# http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem certificate_file = 'cacert.pem' r = requests.get('https://github.com', verify=certificate_file)

If you don’t have a certificate .pem file, you can try using the one from curl : http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem.

Click on the link to download the .pem file and update the path.

# Upgrade your version of pip

If the error persists, run one of the following commands to upgrade your versions of pip, setuptools and wheel.

Copied!
pip install setuptools wheel pip --upgrade # 👇️ for Python 3 pip3 install setuptools wheel pip --upgrade # 👇️ if you don't have pip in your PATH environment variable python -m pip install setuptools wheel pip --upgrade # 👇️ for Python 3 python3 -m pip install setuptools wheel pip --upgrade # 👇️ using py alias (Windows) py -m pip install setuptools wheel pip --upgrade

If you get a permissions error, run the command with the —user option or prefix it with sudo .

Copied!
# 👇️ if you get permissions error pip install setuptools wheel pip --upgrade --user sudo pip install setuptools wheel pip --upgrade

# Create a virtual environment

Create a virtual environment.
Activate the virtual environment.
Run the pip install command with the virtual environment active.

Copied!
# 👇️ use correct version of Python when creating VENV python -m venv venv # 👇️ activate on Unix or MacOS source venv/bin/activate # 👇️ activate on Windows (cmd.exe) venv\Scripts\activate.bat # 👇️ activate on Windows (PowerShell) venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 # 👇️ install the specific package in the virtual environment pip install numpy

If the python -m venv venv command doesn’t work, try the following 2 commands:

Make sure to use the correct command to activate your virtual environment depending on your operating system and your shell.

Your virtual environment will use the version of Python that was used to create it.

You can create a pip.conf (Linux, macOS) or pip.ini (Windows) file in the venv folder with the following contents.

Copied!
[global] trusted-host = pypi.python.org pypi.org files.pythonhosted.org

Try installing a module after that’s done.

# Specifying a certificate when running the command

If you have a certificate stored in a local file, use the —cert option when running the pip install command.

Copied!
pip --cert /path/to/cert>.pem install package_name>

For example, the complete command might look similar to the following.

Copied!
pip --cert /etc/ssl/certs/MY_CERT.pem install requests

Make sure to correct the path to your .pem file and replace requests with the name of the module you’re trying to install.

If you don’t have a certificate .pem file, you can try using the one from curl : http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem.

Click on the link to download the .pem file and update the path.

If none of the suggestions helped, try running the pip install command in verbose mode.

# Try running pip install in verbose mode

If none of the suggestions helped, try running the pip install command in verbose mode.

Copied!
pip install numpy -vvv pip3 install numpy -vvv python -m pip install numpy -vvv

The -v option stands for verbose mode and can be used up to 3 times.

When the pip install command is run in verbose mode, the command shows more output and how the error occurred.

PIP: Install From Private PyPi Repository

By default pip installs packages from a public PyPi repository but can also be configured to install them from the private repositories, like Nexus or Artifactory.

In this note i will show how to configure pip to install packages from the private repositories.

I will also show how to define username and password in pip for the private repositories that require authentication and how to troubleshoot the SSL related issues.

Cool Tip: How to install specific version of a package using pip ! Read More →

Pip Install From Private Repo

Install a package from the private PyPi repository:

$ pip install -i https://  - or - $ pip install -i https:// -r requirements.txt

SSLError “SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED”
– or –
WARNING “The repository located at is not a trusted or secure host and is being ignored.”

you can define a path to the CA bundle and install a package from the private PyPi repository as follows:

$ pip install —cert \ -i https://

Or you can mark the as a trusted host to ignore the SSL check:

$ pip install —trusted-host \ -i https://

Connect to the private PyPi repository using the basic authentication:

$ pip install —trusted-host \ -i https:// : @

$ pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org \ -i https://username:passw0rd@pypi.python.org/simple numpy

The private PyPi repository settings can also be defined in /etc/pip.conf , for example:

[global] index-url = https://username:passw0rd@pypi.python.org/simple trusted-host = pypi.python.org #cert = /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/ca-bundle.crt
