How to install Python packages from the tar.gz file without using pip 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 bypushd C:\Users\absolutefilepathtotarunpackedfolder
- Then run
python setup.py install
Thanks Tales Padua & Hugo Honorem
Install it by running
python setup.py install
Better yet, you can download from github. Install git via apt-get install git
and then follow this steps:
git clone https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn.git
cd seaborn
python setup.py install
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.
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.
