Installing local packages with Anaconda

I am using Anaconda with 64 bit Python 2.7 on a Windows 7 machine that is necessarily isolated from the internet. I am having difficulty installing local packages. Right now I am stuck on PyMySQL, but I imagine I would also have the same problem with other packages. My system PATH variable has Anaconda at the beginning.

Trying a path to the unpacked folder:

conda install –-offline c:\temp\PyMySQL-master\pymysql
PackageNotFoundError: Package missing in current win-64 channels:
  - c:\temp\pymysql-master\pymysql

What does this error mean? I have tried using a tar file and I get the same error message. This is the same message I get if I spell the filename wrong, so there is something I am missing to get it to recognize the file. Do I need to create a channel for a local package? How would I do that? Is there anything else I should try?

Here is the response in verbose mode:

conda install --offline --verbose c:\temp\pymysql.tar

Every conda package ever built to date has a .tar.bz2 extension, and this assumption is baked in deeply. Someday we'll probably add different package types, compression algorithms, and extensions, but that's a ways off. So to work, your command needs to be

conda install --offline --verbose c:\temp\pymysql.tar.bz2

and pymysql.tar.bz2 needs to be a real conda package. (i.e. if you unpack that tarball and there's no info/files file in it, then it's not a conda package)
