Conda - offline install / update
I'm trying to offline update xlwings in Anaconda / conda.
From https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwings, I downloaded the most recent package, and put it into "C:\Program Files\Anaconda2\pkgs"
From Cmd, I've tried a number of different combinations, but I can't seem to get it to update the package... For example:
1) conda install xlwings --offline
2) conda install xlwings --offline xlwings-0.10.2.tar.gz
3) conda update xlwings --offline
4) conda update xlwings --offline xlwings-0.10.2.tar.gz
Attempts 2 & 4 (I've tried using the full directory for these as well) result in unrecognized command.
Attempts 1 & 3 results in:
First download the rellevant package-name.tar.bz2 file, (from anaconda repository)
Open command prompt, cd to apropiate directory and type
conda install package-name.tar.bz2
This should work.
From my experience the process is:
- on a computer that is connected to the internet install the relevant packages.
- copy the relevant
tar.bz2
files form the ~/anaconda3/pkgs folder - in the offline computer run
conda update name_of_packge.tar.bz2 --offline
.
you may want to run conda index
on the pkgs
folder
update
Another option is to use conda pack. This allows to transfer entire environments from online to offline.
