title: Install python modules on windows without admin rights
body: <p>I do not have admin rights on my work laptop. Have got python and pip installed on my machine, version numbers as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\banand\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts&gt;python --version
  Python 3.6.1
  
  C:\Users\banand\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts&gt;pip --version
  pip 9.0.1 from c:\users\banand\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages (python 3.6)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need a way to make use of various python modules available online. An example is - <a href="https://pypi.org/project/colorama/" rel="noreferrer">colorama</a></p>
  
  <p>As per the instructions, I tried the below command without any success:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\banand\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts&gt;pip install colorama --user

  <p>I believe that this has something to do either with the fact that - 
  a. I do not have admin rights, OR
  b. I am behind a firewall and hence some sort of block is being exercised</p>
  
  <p>I want to find out the exact issue here and then answer the question - is there a way to circumvent around these limitation and have a repeatable method to install python modules.</p>
  
  <p>Kindly note that I am in an corporate laptop and learning to Python out of interest, so I do not want to go ahead and request Admin rights nor want to get into any trouble because I tried to do something which was not supposed to be experimented on my laptop.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
