.whl is not supported wheel on this platform

Question

I would like to install hdbcli-2.3.99-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl that I have saved to local drive.

I am using next:

PS C:\Users\i326707\PycharmProjects\hdbcli> python
Python 3.6.2 (v3.6.2:5fd33b5, Jul  8 2017, 04:57:36) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

When I run next:

pip install hdbcli-2.3.99-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

I get the following error:

hdbcli-2.3.99-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl is not supported wheel on this platform

Wait... hdbcli? As in the SAP HANA client? Does that come in wheel format now? I thought it was only .zip or .tar.gz, depending on platform. — user2357112 supports Monica

You will not be able to install hdbcli-2.3.99-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl with Python 3.6.2

The filename contains cp27-cp27m and amd64 so you will need Python 2.7 x64

Similarly, for hdbcli-2.3.99-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl you will need Python 3.5 x64

For your python version the wheel file's name should be hdbcli-2.3.99-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl
