I have Ubuntu Server 16.04. I need to install the pacakge make because I need to install drivers for my Ethernet device with the command "make install". I don't have internet on this computer. Is there any way to install this package without an internet connection?

It is strongly recommended to use a package manager like apt or synaptic for installing software, but you can download individual packages and install them via command line.
You can search for and download packages for your distribution and system architecture on https://packages.ubuntu.com/.
The package make for Ubuntu 16.04 is available here
Transfer the file to the computer without internet access.
Then you can install the .deb package from command line
Installing packages manually this way will not resolve dependencies, so you may be instructed to download additional packages.

Xubuntu 16.04 is EOL too, only Ubuntu 16.04 desktop, server (no desktop) and Kylin are still supported for 16.04 so you may want to checkubuntu-support-statusto see your security status. – guiverc Oct 30 '19 at 00:13build-essentialwhich includesmakeas well as other essential tools.
