install python offline

In general, things like Anaconda Server are designed to make this sort of workflow easier.

Some suggested workarounds:

  • Reproduce your install on another machine with internet (save conda list –export to a file and conda install –file). Then use conda update on that machine to generate and download the packages. One tip that could be helpful is if you take several conda packages and tar them up into a flat tarball you can use conda to install that tarball and it will install all the packages. Or you can put the packages in the pkgs cache and use the –offline flag.
  • Install the newer Anaconda to a different location and copy the packages from the pkgs cache to your current folder.
  • Both of these are a bit clunky, but there's no easy way to achieve this without Anaconda Server.
