Conclusion:
Congratulations! You have successfully installed a Python package on a Linux system without using pip. While pip is a convenient tool, understanding manual installation can be valuable in certain scenarios where pip is not available or suitable. Always refer to the package’s documentation for any specific installation instructions.
