To install any python library without pip command, we can download the package from pypi.org in and run it's setup.py file using python. This will install the package on your system. In this article, We'll talk about this process step by step.
From Navigation menu on left side, click on Download files
Download .tar.gz file
2. Installing downloaded python package
Extract all the files from .tar.gz file fromwherever you have downloaded them.
Opencommand prompt as administrator.
Navigate to your extracted directory using cd command
Run setup.py file with python - Use following command to do so.
python setup.py install
After this the required package must be installed on your system. You can verify the same by open python interpreter and importing the package that you just installed.
Troubleshooting python package installation
Sometimes you might encounter errors while installing any downloaded python package, you should check following things to make sure you are doing it correctly:
Are you running command prompt with admin rights ?
Do you have prerequisites of the package installed on your system ?
Depending upon your installation location of python, packages will require you to have write permission to the directory where python is installed. On most of the systems, Its stored in C drive. In order to write in C drive, you need to run command prompt with admin rights.
Other issues that you might encounter while installing any downloaded python package is, lack of its dependent packages on your system or mismatch of versions. To fix this issue, you need to take a look into the requirements.txt file of the package and see if your system has those packages installed or not.
Hopefully, this will resolve your issues and you will have your python packages available to be imported and used.
Preliminary Steps to take: Download the package and extract it into a local directory. If the package includes its own set of installation instructions, they should be followed. Otherwise, the most common method for manually installing a package is to implement setup.py .

uv is a turbo-fast Python package installer and resolver, written in Rust as a high-speed drop-in substitute for pip, pip-tools, and virtualenv. It's 10–100x faster than pip and pip-tools: with a warm cache, uv installs are near-instant. Works Everywhere: supports macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Any Python library can be installed manually in just one step using the command: python3 <FILE_NAME>.py install. The command pip install package_name is used in Python to install libraries using scripts. Programmers can also use the pip command to uninstall Python libraries.
Pip is not only a program that comes with Python, but a piece of Python code that comes with Python. (The program works by starting a Python interpreter to run that code.) It's usually recommended to use Python to run Pip; that also helps with managing multiple versions of Python on the same computer.
Open your command prompt or terminal.Run the command pip install requests. Wait for pip to download and install the Requests library. Once installation is complete, you can start using Requests in your Python projects.
uv ships as a single static binary capable of replacing pip , pip-tools , and virtualenv . uv has no direct Python dependency, so you can install it separately from Python itself, avoiding the need to manage pip installations across multiple Python versions (e.g., pip vs. pip3 vs. pip3.
That is: if pip.exe is running, Windows will not allow replacing the pip.exe file on disk. This means that pip install --upgrade pip can't work. But python -m pip install --upgrade pip (or py -m pip install --upgrade pip ) can work, because now python.exe is running instead.
