installing python packages without internet and using source code as .tar.gz and .whl

Question

we are trying to install couple of python packages without internet.

For ex : python-keystoneclient

For that we have the packages downloade

Answer 1

This is how I handle this case:

On the machine where I have access to Internet:

mkdir keystone-deps
pip download python-keystoneclient -d "/home/aviuser/keystone-deps"
tar cvfz keystone-deps.tgz keystone-deps

Then move the tar file to the destination machine that does not have Internet access and perform the following:

tar xvfz keystone-deps.tgz
cd keystone-deps
pip install python_keystoneclient-2.3.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl -f ./ --no-index

You may need to add --no-deps to the command as follows:

pip install python_keystoneclient-2.3.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl -f ./ --no-index --no-deps
