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

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

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
