I am trying to install matplotlib on my lab computer that does not have internet access. Since it requires six for its full implementation, I am unable to run the scripts that has matplotlib module. I know how to install six by using pip but am stuck when there is no internet access. Thanks in advance!

@henist is there any possibility that I can make backup of six? I mean the exe file for six. – ap2051 May 15 '15 at 17:15

@AshimPaudel there isn't an *"exe file"*, but you can just get the [source code](https://bitbucket.org/gutworth/six/src) or zip file, as explained below. – jonrsharpe May 15 '15 at 17:15

Download the zipped repository and then use the setup script. – Malik Brahimi May 15 '15 at 17:17

You can install the package by running pip install six-1.9.0.tar.gz
which requires you to copy six-1.9.0.tar.gz
to the machine somehow.

You download it from another computer and bring it on with a USB. – Malik Brahimi May 15 '15 at 17:20

1How do you expect to download anything without an internet connection? Your logic makes no sense regarding networking and principles of the internet. – Malik Brahimi May 15 '15 at 17:21

@MalikBrahimi: There's nothing odd or strange or "makes no sense" about wanting to use a computer that is not on the internet. Not every installation target is just hobbyist home PC. – Lightness Races in Orbit Jan 15 '18 at 10:20
