Use this,

pip install --target=d:\somewhere\other\than\the\default package_name

In your case it will be like ,

pip install --target=/usr/local/bin package_name

See here: Install a Python package into a different directory using pip?

pip install --install-option="--prefix=$PREFIX_PATH" package_name

Or, another option:

pip install package_name -t /usr/local/bin
