When trying to install any packages on my computer using "pip install" i get returned the error

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: Please check proxy URL. It is malformed and could be missing the host.

i came across this when trying to run "pip install captcha-harvester" or any other similar command there have been other posts on stack overflow where they suggested to use the command shown below

set http_proxy=http://[username:password@]proxyserver:port

when using the commands the error continues so any help with my problem would be greatly appreciated.

  • You don't show the actual command you are executing: please include the command in your question (redacted/adjusted for sensitive information). – 9769953 Jan 24 '21 at 19:08
  • Depending on the shell, you may need to quote/escape the proxy url. – 9769953 Jan 24 '21 at 19:08
  • Just to be clear - that's not _exactly_ what you typed, is it? You need to know the address and port of your proxyserver, and the username/password you have to access it. – michjnich Jan 24 '21 at 19:51
  • That is exactly what i typed, this occurs even when i try install anything such as "python -m pip install --upgrade pip" i still get the same message – ctrl_cheeb_del Jan 24 '21 at 20:02
