How can I install software or packages without Internet (offline)?

Is there a way to store deb packages (all or a specific version of package) on a local media (dvd, usb etc...) so later I would be able to install those packages on a PC which does not have Internet connection?

For example, these are the packages that I want to install on a PC which doesn't have Internet connection:

# TinyOS MSP430 GCC Compiler Repository
# Version 4.6.3
deb http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian squeeze main
deb http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian msp430-46 main

# TinyOS version 2.1.2
deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main

  • Want to only store packages which are downloaded? You can find them in /var/cache/apt/archives folder. If you also want to install them locally without using Internet on another pc, look at the above link – Anwar Sep 21 '12 at 09:41

You can download the deb only by the command

sudo apt-get --download-only <packagename>

Then you can burn the files to your DVD and make the DVD as a software source using synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center

Else you can make your own local repository. read this to get it

Use APT on CD

The gui interface for backing up deb files!

you can download all needed softwares and updates through software center or Synaptic and then take a copy of you /var/cache/apt/archives and them on the offline machine do a sudo dpkg -i *.deb
