I am trying to install pyodbc for python 2.6. The problem is I am not having admin access to install this module using pip. Is there a possibility to install into a local folder and use by setting the python path or some other way.

  • Is the pip issue due to an external connection or is pip itself blocked? – roganjosh Nov 28 '18 at 14:08

    pip has a `--user` option you could try. – Felix Nov 28 '18 at 14:10

  • Problem is pip itself is blocked due to firewall settings which I am not having access to change. Tried downloading the package, but running setup.py is giving error as it is not run as root – Charity Nov 28 '18 at 14:16

This worked for me:

Downloaded pyodbc-4.0.24.tar.gz from here and saved it in my ~/Downloads folder.

Opened a Terminal window, did cd ~/Downloads to switch to the Downloads folder, and then did

pip install --user pyodbc-4.0.24.tar.gz
