Installing Packages Without Internet Connection

Installing a package offline

You can achieve it just double clicking on the file (if you have GDebi installed) or running the below command thru a terminal or virtual terminal:

$ sudo dpkg -i path/to/yourfile.deb

If you have set of debs (may with dependencies), then run below command:

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

note: beware that the package may have dependencies.

Warning: Don't blindly trust on (external) deb file (it may non-free).
