It is not recommended to install Streamlit without using pip as pip is the officially supported package manager for installing Python packages. However, if you are unable to use pip, you can try installing Streamlit using the following methods:

  1. Download the source code from the Streamlit GitHub repository and install it manually
  2. Use another package manager such as Anaconda Navigator or conda to install Streamlit
  3. Install Streamlit in a virtual environment using virtualenv or venv.


Keep in mind that installing Streamlit in this way may lead to compatibility issues and it is not recommended for production use.

To install Streamlit manually from source code, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the Streamlit repository from GitHub using Git:
1
git clone https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit.git


  1. Navigate to the cloned repository:
1
cd streamlit


  1. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):
1
2
3
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate  # for Linux/Mac
envScriptsactivate  # for Windows


  1. Install the required dependencies:
1
python setup.py install


  1. Verify the installation by running the Streamlit hello world example:
1
streamlit hello


Please note that these instructions assume you already have Python and Git installed. Additionally, keep in mind that this method may not work if there are external dependencies or system-specific configurations required by Streamlit, which are handled automatically by pip.


It is generally recommended to use pip as the standard and official way to install Streamlit, as it will handle all dependencies and ensure a smooth installation process.
