Just installed linux for the first time and I want to install the drivers for my adapter but the methods I see require you to connect to the internet on the Computer. Is it possible to install the drivers from a USB instead of having to connect to wifi on the PC?

Check if you have dkms installed by default "sudo dkms status", if you do then you can download the driver to a USB and then build it on that box. There is no Ubuntu drive for that dongle, you will need to build it and then install it. – SimpliFixed Sep 15 '20 at 21:35

If you have DKMS then you can build and install the driver, otherwise there is no driver for this dongle for Ubuntu. dkms is needed or you cant install the driver:
See answer on this article: How do I get the linksys WUSB6300 wireless adapter to work on linux
Here is a newer driver if the one listed does not work: https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au-5.6.4.2
