No, to install or remove a chain on a bike with derailleurs (gears) you need a special chain tool to "break" the link. goto your local bike shop and they will have a few different ones to choose from depending on how often you will want to do this procedure.
Different chains require different tools and price varies from $10- to over $100. Also you should get a little instruction on how to reinstall properly, if you don't do it right the chain will break when you go riding and could cause injury.
