Install pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
Then you can install packages like:
pip install imutils
Alternatively, you could unpack the gz (something like Winzip should be able to handle it) and run python setup.py install
.

I needed to install imutils with my Python 3 installation, and pip only installed it for Python 2. However, running `python3 setup.py install` got it working on Python 3. Thanks! – VinceFior Jun 01 '16 at 22:22

1@VinceFior you can have `pip` alongside with `pip3`, see this thread for more information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2812520/pip-dealing-with-multiple-python-versions – Josep Valls Jun 03 '16 at 12:23
In windows, py3, conda install imutils
is not avaliable.
pip3 install imutils
and the newest version will be installed.

Using windows 7, Anaconda3 environment I tried: pip install imutils which gave me a "got an unexpected keyword argument 'keyword encoding' error...so after much "wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth.." I arrived at the following solution:
go to: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/imutils and download: imutils-0.4.5.tar.gzip
extract the imutils-0.4.5 to folder of your choosing.
run: python setup.py install
Sadly, stupid, but it worked for me!!
