Adding package to offline environment

Hello everyone,

This question has been asked in several forms, but seeing as it has not been answered I figured I might as well ask again.

I am trying to install anaconda and packages onto an offline RHEL 8 machine. There is a windows 10 machine connected to it that is online.

I have tried to use conda-pack but the usage of that package seems very primitive and does not integrate the packed environment into an existing conda installation.

Is there a solution for this common problem, or is conda simply unable to be used in a permanently offline environment?

Client-server systems are known to have such problems.

However, it can be managed with a server-side configuration.
For example, it is possible to change the permissions of conda on the server side so that it can only be run by the root or owner user, but not on the client side.

In the case of most client/server systems, this is mostly handled by the server-side OS authority management rather than by the application.

Try it.
Regards, you.
