How do I install a Python package with a .whl file?
How to install a Python package (specifically, JPype1 0.5.7) on my Windows machine, and would like to install it with Christoph Gohlke's Window binaries. (Which, to my experience, alleviated much of the fuss for many other package installations.)
However, while Christoph used to provide .exe files in the past, recently it seems he's uploading .whl files instead.

But how do I install pip install whl files? Please help.
If you want to install it from the wheel, then keep the directory where the wheel is downloaded.
use the below code:
Install package_name.whl
Now, use this:
pip install --use-wheel --no-index --find-links=/where/its/downloaded package_name
But, ensure that you have updated pip first to enable wheel support:
pip install --upgrade pip
