I am new with Ubuntu.

I want to setup a local repository for Ubuntu 12.04, because i don't have internet access on my laptop. I downloaded repository using wget on windows machine and its download directory structure under us.archive.ubuntu.com directory.

Please let me how i setup local repository using it.

Thanks for response (in Advance).

You can now add the repository path (us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) to /etc/apt/sources.list file

For example:-

Suppose you have downloaded it to /media/Data/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ First backup your /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup

Open /etc/apt/sources.list 

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb file:///media/Data/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main universe multiverse
