On the MacOS, with pip
installed via MacPorts into the MacPorts python2.7, I had to use @Dunes solution:
sudo python -m pip install some-package.whl
Where python
was replaced by the MacPorts python in my case, which is python2.7
or python3.5
for me.
The -m
option is "Run library module as script" according to the manpage.
(I had previously run sudo port install py27-pip py27-wheel
to install pip
and wheel
into my python 2.7 installation first.)
