Uploading wheel using `dbutils.fs.cp` to workspace and install it in Runtime>15

I have been trying to find an alternative to copying a wheel file from my local file system to Databricks and then installing it into the cluster. Doing this 

databricks_client.dbutils.fs.cp("file:/local..../..whl", "dbfs:/Workspace/users/..../..whl") used to work without issue for runtime 14 and below but not for 15 which I need for a project.
The other thing I don't get is that the file I copy to Databricks into the workspace using the Python SDK do not show up in the UI
