Any distribution can have dependencies and/or build dependencies, as is the case here.
More preparation is needed for a successfull offline installation. What guide are you following?

[i4g8tt]

@merwok I downloaded all my Python libraries from Pypi.org and I am following these instructions to install (https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/).

I have to rely on a separate division at my job to download the required libraries ( and they downloaded a mix of compressed files and .whl extension files. Our computing environment is extremely rigid and I should have been more specific about my needs but it's my first time doing this. Here is a list of some of the Python libraries: glob2-0.7.tar.gz, Pandas.whl, jupyterlab.whl, os.whl, re, tkinter, and a few more. I currently have a mix of compressed files and a few files with the .whl extension.

[merwok]

Quick notes:

• Don’t rename files: tools like pip rely on filenames being like pandas-5.0.whl to determine name and version
• Don’t download without checking: os, re, tkinter are in the Python standard library, you don’t need distributions for them (and if they exist on PyPI, they may be malicious)
• You need more work to download all dependencies and their build-time and run-time dependencies, then a specific command to install them without network requests:
  • https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_download/
  • https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/#installing-from-local-archives

Maybe use a wheelhouse: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/repeatable-installs/#using-a-wheelhouse-aka-installation-bundles

Thanks, @merwok and @sinoroc when I return to work I will do as suggested and provide some feedback as soon as possible.
