# PyPI Packages Repository
Publish [PyPI ](https://pypi.org/ ) packages for your user or organization.
**Table of Contents**
{{< toc > }}
## Requirements
To work with the PyPI package registry, you need to use the tools [pip ](https://pypi.org/project/pip/ ) to consume and [twine ](https://pypi.org/project/twine/ ) to publish packages.
## Configuring the package registry
To register the package registry you need to edit your local `~/.pypirc` file. Add
```ini
[distutils]
index-servers = gitea
[gitea]
repository = https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/pypi
username = {username}
password = {password}
```
| Placeholder | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `username` | Your Gitea username. |
| `password` | Your Gitea password or a [personal access token ]({{< relref "doc/developers/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}} ). |
## Publish a package
Publish a package by running the following command:
```shell
python3 -m twine upload --repository gitea /path/to/files/*
```
The package files have the extensions `.tar.gz` and `.whl` .
You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.
## Install a package
To install a PyPI package from the package registry, execute the following command:
```shell
pip install --index-url https://{username}:{password}@gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/pypi/simple --no-deps {package_name}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `username` | Your Gitea username. |
| `password` | Your Gitea password or a personal access token. |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
For example:
```shell
pip install --index-url https://testuser:password123@gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/pypi/simple --no-deps test_package
```
## Supported commands
```
pip install
twine upload
```
