A required package is adapya.base and adapya.entirex which will be also installed by pip.


Or to install from a zip file (similarly for tar file)::

   the HTTP\_PROXY environment variable before running pip::

       SET HTTP_PROXY=http://<httpprox.your-local.net>:<httpprox-port>

   Not setting it may result in time out operations.
