Downloading a python library and installing it locally from the computer

Question

Have a bit of an issue here. I haven't got admin access to my work computer (working on getting it) so I can't install packages. IT has given me a temporary Admin password but Admin doesn't have internet access.

So I have to download the library itself. I went to https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/imbalanced-learn.git and downloaded "imbalanced-learn-master.zip"

My question now is - how do I install this on my computer locally? I can "Run as Administrator" anything from the command prompt

Just a comment since this is not answering directly to your question but you can install miniconda and then you can manage it a user level (still require internet) without the admin rights. Then whatever package can be installed with conda install <package-name>. — glemaitre

First. How You install packages. If from command line then you can use --user switch then command will look

pip install --user imbalanced-learn

Other option is to install from wheel file. So download: https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/eb/aa/eba717a14df36f0b6f000ebfaf24c3189cd7987130f66cc3513efead8c2a/imbalanced_learn-0.6.1-py3-none-any.whl and then

pip install imbalanced_learn-0.6.1-py3-none-any.whl

or without admin privileges

pip install --user imbalanced_learn-0.6.1-py3-none-any.whl

Third option is to install from source (as you asked). You need to unpack zip file and in terminal go to main folder (with setup.py) and then

pip install .

But you also need to install package dependencies. You can found them in setup.py For current master it is

INSTALL_REQUIRES = [
    'numpy>=1.11',
    'scipy>=0.17',
    'scikit-learn>=0.22',
    'joblib>=0.11'
]

I've been trying the "pip install ." and this is what I see: "Processing c:\temp\imbalanced-learn-master Requirement already satisfied numpy, requirement already satisfied scipy, collecting scikit-learn". Then it tries to connect to the internet and under admin there is no internet. So is my problem, I have an outdated scikit-learn and need to update that library prior to the imbalanced library?

Or you may not have installed it. Yo may download it from pypi.org/project/scikit-learn/#files

RawlinsCross Over a year ago

just checked using "pip list" and returns skikit-learn 0.21.2

Grzegorz Bokota Over a year ago

So version is to low.

Yes, you need to get scikit-learn 0.22. It is available on PyPI and conda-forge.

You need to use the pip (or any package installer) through your corporate proxy.

pip install package_name --proxy=http://corporate-proxy.company_website.com:8080
