pip install whl file off-line without network

Question

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:
Traceback (most recent call last):

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
