Situation:

I have a server with Ubuntu Server 16.04 set on it. I need to install APT package network-manager to connect to Wi-Fi network.

* I have also PC that is connected to the Internet (if it's needed).

Problem:

It's impossible to install that package by running sudo apt install network-manager, cause I have no Internet yet. But I have no idea how to do that in different way.

Computers:

Server:

Operating System: Ubuntu Server 16.04 (AMD64)
Internet: no

PC:

Operating System: Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 (AMD64)
Internet: yes

Questions:

How to download APT package with all depends on the computer with no Internet connection?

Thanks for the help

You can connect to a wireless network by editing /etc/network/interfaces and you don't need Network Manager: https://askubuntu.com/questions/464507/ubuntu-14-04-server-wifi-wpa2-personal/464552#464552 – chili555 Aug 03 '18 at 15:40

Please tell us what they were; perhaps they are fixable. – chili555 Aug 03 '18 at 16:01
