Ubuntu

Installing software without internet

Asked by kewlmart

Hello, would like to know if there is anyway for me to save repositories on cd for future installs. I.E. I want to install ubuntu on my friends computer but don't want to use all my bandwith with software installs (like restricted software,openoffice, vlc,adobe PDF reader, etc...) Anyway i can download them to a cd and then install them after the ubuntu cd install.

Thank You

Martin

Open office and a pdf reader are installed by default.
There is no easy way to install software without an internet connection.
It wont use all your bandwidth. It souldnt take much longer than a few minutes for most downloads.

Hope this helps

Hi Kewlmart,

If you're already installed them on your computer, you need APTonCD packages. Here's the documentation from community about it.

And here's the article how to install packages without internet connection:

Hopefully those article will help you. Good luck..
