how do you install a zip (or tag.gz) file in an anaconda prompt with Python 2.7 (I want to install a version of PyQt4)

I have downloaded Anaconda 64 bit with Python 2.7 on my compter which works with Windows. I also downloaded PyQt4 version 4.11.4. However, when I run my code, I have this :

RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v9.0 to v9.2 but the PyQt4.QtGui module requires API v11.3

I tried to update the sip module, but I can't go further than version 4.18 due (I think) to the version of Python I use. However, I really need to use Python 2.7 since the code that I'm trying to run is old and written in Python 2.

I found out that PyQt4 version 4.9.6 requires a API version 9.1, so it would be supported by the sip module I have.

My problem is that only found that version of PyQt4 in zip file or in tag.gz file and I only know how to install .whl file (with the "pip install" in the anaconda prompt).

I was wondering if someone could please explain me how to install a zip or tag.gz file or if there is a web site that I could use to transform the zip (or tag.gz file) into a .whl file.
