How to do OFFLine Installation in Linux Ubuntu?

July 17, 2016 by taufanlubis
There few methods available that you can find in the Internet but the method that I like to share its
bit different. May be, it will suitable for you.
What is the benefit of OFFLINE installation?
You dont have to connect to the Internet when you install new application and you can distribute it
easily.
In this tutorial, I use Ubuntu 14.04.
Below are the steps:
1.Clean the folder /var/cache/apt/archives
Open your linux terminal then type the command below:
$sudo apt-get clean
This command will clean all .deb file in folder /var/cache/apt/archives.
Clean the folder is important otherwise it will mixed up with the previous download application files.
For folder /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is only temporary place before files moved to archieves,
so it will automatically cleaned.
2.Update the source list.
Connect to the Internet and update your package list because sometimes your application its not the
list yet.
$sudo apt-get update
3.Download the application.
For example, you want to download nmap. Type the command below. This command only download
the .deb files of the application in folder /var/cache/apt/archives, NOT install it. $sudo apt-get install
-d nmap
(d = download-only)
darklinux@darklinux:~$ nmap
The program nmap is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

4 apt-get install nmap
sudo

4.Create a folder and copy all the .deb files in it.

Goto /var/cache/apt/archives folder, copy all the .deb files to your nmap folder.

5.Goto nmap folder and install the package.

I suggest to install the application using dpkg (package manager for debian). From Linux Terminal,
goto to your nmap folder then type the command below.
$sudo dpkg -i *.deb

14.04/nmap$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
