What you typically would do here is use apt-cdrom add It will ask you for a CD/DVD which it will scan and add an entry to your /etc/apt/sources.list In the future if you want a package: apt install foo will tell you what DVD or CD you need to insert. Works the same for dependencies and you might need to switch out the DVD's a time or two depending on what is required. If you want to do this without DVD's you would need to sync a repo to a machine on your LAN and configure a webserver to hand out the files.
