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.

Answer 1

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
