# Configuring pip

This page explains how to configure the pip package manager to pull packages from the Seal artifact server based on your existing setup.

Make sure you have the access token for the server ready.

### Pull directly from the artifact server

There are three main ways to configure the PyPI server:

1. If you're using the command line, replace the existing URL with (where `SEAL_TOKEN` stands for your token):

```url
https://PROJECT_ID:SEAL_TOKEN@pypi.sealsecurity.io/simple
```

2. If you're using a configuration file (usually `~/.pip/pip.conf`), replace the existing `index-url` key value with (where `SEAL_TOKEN` stands for your token and `PROJECT_ID` should be the name of your project):

```
index-url = https://PROJECT_ID:SEAL_TOKEN@pypi.sealsecurity.io/simple
```

3. If you're using the `requirements.txt`, replace the existing `--index-url` line with (where `SEAL_TOKEN` stands for your token and `PROJECT_ID` should be the name of your project):

```
--index-url https://PROJECT_ID:SEAL_TOKEN@pypi.sealsecurity.io/simple
```

### Pull using JFrog's Artifactory

1. Go to JFrog's Artifactory configuration and create a new remote PyPI repository.
   1. In the Basic configuration, choose whatever Repository Key you like.
   2. In the URL field set `https://pypi.sealsecurity.io/`.
   3. In the User Name field use `jfrog`.
   4. In the Password / Access Token field paste the Production token you created earlier.
   5. In the Registry URL field (under PyPI Settings) set `https://pypi.sealsecurity.io/`.
2. Click the `Test` button. This will test whether the connection and authentication to the Seal artifact server is configured properly.
3. Save the new repository, and set it as the top priority remote repository in the virtual repository you're using.
