title: How to download packages from pypi using Wget?
body: <p>Where from should I download virtualenv to use <code>locally from source</code> using wget?</p>
  
  <p>I'm having troubles downloading virtualenv from the command line.</p>
  
  <p>Info: if you search for virtualenv you will find the site for the <code>stable</code> version and its installation guide which is just equals to the <code>latest</code> version installation guide.</p>
  
  <p>To install locally it describe this :</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>To install version X.X globally from source</em></strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-X.X.tar.gz
  $ tar xvfz virtualenv-X.X.tar.gz
  $ cd virtualenv-X.X
  $ [sudo] python setup.py install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong><em>To use locally from source</em></strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-X.X.tar.gz
  $ tar xvfz virtualenv-X.X.tar.gz
  $ cd virtualenv-X.X
  $ python virtualenv.py myVE
  </code></pre>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I'm using wget instead curl but should not be problem at all with this. Am I wrong?</li>
  <li>The only place where I can download it (and not from the command line) is from <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</li>
  <li>I'm typing the url correctly.</li>
  <li><p>Different virtualenv versions at the url return the same not found: </p>
  
  <p>HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
  2017-07-21 17:53:09 ERROR 404: Not Found.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Please note that I have already downloaded the tar.gz so I don't need it right now but I'm not sure if this is a broken link issue or I'm forgotten something else at the download command. I will not associate an issue to virtualenv just because a broken link but I need to know why this is not working. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I can't download it using wget from <code>..python..packages/source/v/virtualenv</code> etc.</p>
