Manually installing pyodbc on Windows with firewall

Question

I am trying to install pyodbc on my work machine which has a firewall. So I donwnloaded pyodbc-3.0.7.zip, and tried to install it manually with the following command:

pip install C:\Users\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda\pkgs\pyodbc-3.0.7.zip

But it did not work. From searching around, if I want to continue on in this path, it looks like I need to compile the c++ source.

Is this the only way to go if I want to install pyodbc manually?

Select the appropriate exe for your CPU architecture from here. Once the executable is downloaded, an active network connection isn't needed.
