Installing wheel packages in Windows

I was trying to install some extra packages I got from here to my Python IDE. I never used this kind of extension .whl. I also read an article with some possible solutions, but nothing works. I followed this:

I just used the following which was quite simple:

First open a console and use pip to install wheel

pip install wheel

then cd to where you've downloaded your file like some-package.whl and use

pip install some-package.whl

But the only thing I got was:

pip prompt

Any idea what I should do?

Hah, I just figured out that a number in the name of the wheel file refers to the Python version I'm trying to add a package. So the only thing I had to do was change scikit_image-0.11.3-cp**34**-none-win_amd64.whl to scikit_image-0.11.3-cp**27**-none-win_amd64.whl.

Thanks for the help!

See ya!

You might have a 64 bit system where you are trying to install a 32 bit package. Use the version that says 64 or amd64 instead.
