How can I add the Discord module in python without using pip?

Question

How are you guys?

So to get straight to the point I wanted to create a Discord bot using Python but the thing is that when I want to install the discord module using pip by typing pip install discord but since I'm using a PC without admin rights I have an error saying that it can't launch this program (pip)

So I'm here to ask if anyone knows how can I install the Discord module in python without pip ?

Thanks in advance!

It depends on which IDE you are using For example, you can download pycharm if you don't already have it and you can download the package from pycharm itself.

How you can do that is going to file ➜ Settings ➜ Project ➜ Python Interpreter ➜ and click the + sign over the package label and there you will be able to search for any package you want like discord.py

Hi, so I'm using VS Code as an IDE so if you can tell me how to install the Discord package in it that would be great! – SamiDev Feb 18 '22 at 16:12

No sorry it didn't help me, because the guy says that he needs to install the module using pip but I can't use pip since as I said the program needs admin rights but this PC doesn't have admin rights to launch pip – SamiDev Feb 20 '22 at 18:21

Go to https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py and download it as a zip (Code -> Download ZIP)

Extract the zip file on your desktop
Open the command propmt and CD into the discord.py-master directory (with cd Desktop\discord.py-master
Run python setup.py install

Hi, so the problem is as I said this PC doesn't have the admin rights so if I try to execute the following command: `python3 setup.py install` I have an error saying that the system cannot execute the specified program :/ – SamiDev Feb 18 '22 at 16:16
Try using `pip install --user discord.py` – Łukasz Kwieciński Feb 18 '22 at 16:18
Same problem, it's saying that the system can't execute it, it really sucks :| – SamiDev Feb 18 '22 at 16:22
Do you have any other solutions ? – SamiDev Feb 18 '22 at 16:40

Try this

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts

check this link for more 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command

If the above doesn't work

You have to download the discord.py module here. https://pypi.org/project/discord.py/#files

and read this if you don't know how to import files

How do I use an external .py file?

else

reinstall python and set the path like the below image
