title: Is it possible to install a django package without pip?
body: <p>I am trying to install django-dash to run one of the dashboard examples and see what it's like. </p>
  
  <p>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:</p>
  
  <pre><code>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
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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?</p>
  
  <p>I also tried downloading the sources and running python setup.py install. I received the following error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>File "setup.py", line 3, in &lt;module&gt; from setuptools import setup, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools
  </code></pre>
