How to install Python packages from the tar gz file without using pip install

Question

Long story short my work computer has network constraints which means trying to use pip install in cmd just leads to timing out not finding package errors   For example  when I try to pip install seaborn    Instead I have tried to download the tar gz file of the packages I want  however  I do not know how to install them  I ve extracted the files from the tar gz file and there is a  setup  file within but it s not doing much for me   If someone could explain how to install python packages in this manner without using pip install on windows that would be amazing

You can install a tarball without extracting it first. Just navigate to the directory containing your .tar.gz file from your command prompt and enter this command:

pip install my-tarball-file-name.tar.gz

I am running python 3.4.3 and this works for me. I can't tell if this would work on other versions of python though.

Is it possible for you to use sudo apt-get install python-seaborn instead  Basically tar gz is just a zip file containing a setup  so what you want to do is to unzip it  cd to the place where it is downloaded and use gunzip -c seaborn-0 7 0 tar gz   tar xf - for linux  Change dictionary into the new seaborn unzipped file and execute python setup py install

Thanks to the answers below combined I ve got it working     First needed to unpack the tar gz file into a folder  Then before running python setup py install had to point cmd towards the correct folder  I did this by pushd C  Users absolutefilepathtotarunpackedfolder Then run python setup py install   Thanks Tales Padua  amp  Hugo Honorem

If you don t wanted to use PIP install atall  then you could do the following   1  Download the package 2  Use 7 zip for unzipping tar files    Use 7 zip again until you see a folder by the name of the package you are looking for  Ex  wordcloud     3  Locate Python library folder where python is installed and paste the  WordCloud  folder itself there    4  Success    Now you can import the library and start using the package

You may use pip for that without using the network  See in the docs  search for  Install a particular source archive file    Any of those should work   pip install relative path to seaborn tar gz     pip install absolute path to seaborn tar gz     pip install file    absolute path to seaborn tar gz       Or you may uncompress the archive and use setup py directly with either pip or python   cd directory containing tar gz tar -xvzf seaborn-0 10 1 tar gz pip install seaborn-0 10 1 python setup py install   Of course  you should also download required packages and install them the same way before you proceed
