pip installation with no internet access

I want to setup python with modules on a computer without access to the internet.

I’ve created the requirements list with freeze on a computer with the same python and pip version connected to the internet, downloaded the packages and transferred it to the offline computer. Now I’m trying to install them but I’m having some difficulties. They’re both windows machines. Please advise, thanks in advance.

>Solution :

You must download the wheel package on your online pc

pip download wheel

Then transfer the file on your offline pc and installing it

pip install yourwheelpackagename.whl

Then the installation must work

pip install -r requirements.txt --find-links=C:\Users\pulcma\pip --no-index
