Is it possible to install a django package without pip?

I am trying to install django-dash to run one of the dashboard examples and see what it's like.

I am on Windows running Python 2.7 and Django 1.6.5. I know the usual approach is to download pip then install the package using pip. However, I am on a work computer with no administrative rights so I can't access my Internet Option Settings to find my proxy URL to follow the instructions below:

Proxy problems

If you work in an office, you might be behind a HTTP proxy. If so, set the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy. Most Python applications (and other free software) respect these. Example syntax:
http://proxy_url:port
http://username:password@proxy_url:port

I had the same issue when trying to install Django but was able to get it to work by moving the django directory under Python27/Lib/site-packages. Is there something similar I can do with django-dash?

I also tried downloading the sources and running python setup.py install. I received the following error: 

File "setup.py", line 3, in <module> from setuptools import setup, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools

Yes, you can probably get the sources from The Python Package Index

Once you have them, uncompress the files and install them manually (this will depend on you OS).

On Linux systems:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Here's the full reference

EDIT : Note that when manually installing those packages, you must also install any missing dependencies, eg. setuptools in your case
