If you do not want to create a custom repository, you can also run composer install (or composer update) on a copy that is on a network-connected computer. Then you can copy over the newly added and extracted component into the vendor folder on the machine without internet access. Note that you also need to copy vendor/composer/installed.json to let composer know that the new package has been installed. Once you have copied all these files, you can run composer install on the machine without internet access and it will not try to install anything and dump autoload files.
