I am behind corporate firewall and want to install a python package from .bz2 file.

I verified my python version to be 3.6.5 and downloaded appropriate package from anaconda cloud

This is how i am installing the package

conda install path_to_.bz2file

The error I get

enter image description here

I saw several examples where there is mention of extracting and running the setup.py file. I didnt find any setup.py file after extraction. Maybe its related to pypi not sure. I dont have any internet connection on this machine so have to look for offline installation options.

Any help is appreciated.

PyPI distributions usually come with a setup.py. Here are the steps to download offline.

  1. Find the package you want to download on PyPI
  2. Download the latest distribution to a local directory, should be a tar.gz (tarball) file.
  3. Open Anaconda Prompt/Terminal
  4. cd to the tar.gz parent folder
  5. pip install (filename)

Sometimes a package will have dependencies that need to be installed online. In this case you will need to do the same with the dependency before you can successfuly run the setup.py
