Install python packages offline on server - python

I want to install some packages on the server which does not access to internet. so I have to take packages and send them to the server. But I do not know how can I install them.

Download all the packages you need and send them to the server where you need to install them. It doesn't matter if they have *whl or *tar.gz extension. Then install them one by one using pip:
pip install path/to/package
or:
python -m pip install path/to/package
The second option is useful if you have multiple interpreters on the server (e.g. python2 and python3 or multiple versions of either of them). In such case replace python with the one you want to use, e.g:
python3 -m pip install path/to/package
If you have a lot of packages, you can list them in a requirement file as you would normally do when you have access to the internet. Then instead of putting the names of the packages into the file, put the paths to the packages (one path per line). When you have the file, install all packages by typing:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
In the requirements file you can also mix between different types of the packages (*whl and *tar.gz). The only thing to take care about is to download the correct versions of the packages you need for the platform you have (64bit packages for 64bit platform etc.).
You can find more information regarding pip install in its documentation.

You can either download the packages from the website and run python setup.py install. Or you can run a pip install on a local dir, such as :
pip install path/to/tar/ball
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#usage

Download the wheel packages from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ . You may install the .whl packages by pip install (package.whl) , refer installing wheels using pip for more.

Download the package from website and extract the tar ball.
run python setup.py install

Build a python package only with dependencies

Is there a way to build a python package that contains only the dependencies needed by another project? The goal here is to install this module in a different project using a single pip install command. The dependent project installs almost 30 packages (public and private)
If such a thing is possible,
How should it be structured ?
What other files are needed apart from requirements file ?
If such a thing is not possible, what are my options ?
For example when installing an offline environment you can utilize pip download functionality: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_download/
Basically instead of install you can download the package contents to a directory of your choice with
pip download -r requirements.txt -d <directory> SomePackage
then move that package to the offline deployment and install it with
pip install --no-index --find-links <directory>

How to create a common environment for teamwork in Python

I would like to create a virtual environment for my team. My team, works in different places and everyone has their own environment, it causes a lot of problems, everyone has a different version of the libraries (Python, RobotFramework).
I thought about:
creating one common environment, I used virtualenv.
Installing the prepared libraries (python and robotframework) with one command pip install ...,
Prepared libraries will be in the git repository so that everyone can modify them, change the library version.
I have the first and third parts done, but I have a problem with the second. How to create such a package of libraries to be able to install it with one pip install command.
Should I create an environment locally, install all the libraries in it, and send them to git? Or should I package the project via setuptool (to tar.gz)?
Unfortunately, I cannot find the answer to this question, it seems to me that none of the above solutions is optimal.
The easiest way of doing it would be creating a text file of all the libraries you are using in pip with the command.
pip freeze > requirements.txt
This will create a file listing all the packages with their versions that are being used. To install that ask every team member to place that requirement file in their projects and use
pip install -r requirements.txt
With pip, you could download your dependencies. These will be .tar.gz, .whl or .zip files. Note that this could be complicated if your team uses multiple OS.
Here is an example which will download the dependencies into the directory named "dependencies", you can push this to git along with the requirements file.
pip freeze > req.txt
pip download -r req.txt -d dependencies
When someone clones your repository, they can install the dependencies offline with the following command.
pip install --no-index --find-links=dependencies -r req.txt

Create install package of current pip packages (similar to pip freeze)

I'm needing to create an install package which contains all of the pip packages currently installed. Generally I think of this as using pip freeze > requirements.txt. However since I'm needing the actual install package I then need to do pip download -r requirements.txt.
It seems strange to have to download the packages if they are already on my computer opposed to being able to package them up. This also creates an install .whl for each package opposed to a single one. (This is not a show-stopper)
What is the best method for generating an install package of the current environment for pip packages?

pip install from a file only if needed

I have a packages file (dependencies.conf) for pip including a bunch of packages that my app needs:
argparse==1.2.1
Cython==0.20.2
...
In my build process, I download all packages using:
pip install --download=build/modules -r conf/dependencies.conf
Then in the deployment process, I want to install these files only if the installed version is different than what I need and in the correct order (dependencies)
I'm currently using the following:
for f in modules/*; do pip install -I $f; done
But this is wrong since it doesn't validate the version (-I is there in order to downgrade packages if needed) and it doesn't handle the right order of dependencies.
Is there a simple method to do that? (I'm basically trying to update the packages in machines that don't have internet connection)
Get the version using PIP, using the following command
eg. pip freeze | grep Jinja2
Jinja2==2.6
as explained in the following link Find which version of package is installed with pip
then compare this with the version, and run pip install with the appropriate version if necessary

How to save pip packages

We have a python/django based web application, many components of which are installed using pip. So I would like to ask if there is a way to save or download and save the particular python packages that we are having pip install (example: pip install django==1.5.1). We would like to have in the end a collection of the packages in the versions known to be working and with which the app was developed locally. Any and all advice will be appreciated.
If I understood your question right, you can pip freeze > requirements.txt, this command will add all the libraries you have used/"downloaded" for your app in the file requirements.txt(in case it exists the file be overwritten). This command allows you to later do pip install -r requirements.txt. However, be aware that your Django project must be running in a virtual environment, otherwise the install command will attempt to install all the python packages in your development machine.
The freeze command will allow you to have the current version of the app so upon installation will attempt to install that same version. Your requirements file will look something like:
Flask==0.8
Jinja2==2.6
Werkzeug==0.8.3
certifi==0.0.8
chardet==1.0.1
distribute==0.6.24
gunicorn==0.14.2
requests==0.11.1
Your packages are installed (if using virtualenv) at: ../<your project>/<your virtual env>/<lib>/<python version>/<site-packages>/
As for downloading you can use pip install --download command as #atupal suggested in his response, however think if this is really needed you can also fork those libraries on github to accomplish the same.
Here is a good source of information on how this works: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/cookbook.html
Maybe what you want is:
Download the packages:
pip install --download /path/to/download/to packagename
OR
pip install --download=/path/to/packages/downloaded -r requirements.txt
install all of those libraries just downloaded:
pip install --no-index --find-links="/path/to/downloaded/dependencies" packagename
OR
pip install --no-index --find-links="/path/to/downloaded/packages" -r requirements.txt
Shamelessly stolen from this question
Create a requirements.txt file.
Put:
django==1.5.1
in the first line.
Then run pip install -r requirements.txt
Then you can complete that file...
