Title: Dependency Problems - Installing Armory to a non connected PC
Post by: Calculus99 on October 27, 2018, 03:27:48 PM
For a Linux newbie like me, it sounded simple -

1. Burn a Linux iso and install on the non-internet PC

2. No need to update the OS

3. Copy Armory onto a USB and then install to the non-internet PC

4. All done.

APART FROM THIS -

You have to install the dependencies needed for the wallet, ie  sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-twisted python-psutil

And that step needs to be online (I believe).

How can someone like me, a newbie, install Armory to a PC that has never connected to the net, nor should ever connect?

Thanks

Download the depencencies and their dependencies from the repo yourself. There are plenty of guides in the wild for how to rip the list of dependencies with a simple script. You can then install those on your offline machine using dpkg -i

Just in case you need a guide I found 2 guides on the forum that I think will guide how to install armory in offline mode.

You can check these 2 guides below.
