Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing packages without internet connection
Thank you for your anwsers. sudo dpkg -i works fine. Thank you, quantumgravity.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing packages without internet connection
Please describe the problem that occured in more detail. In general it's perfectly possible to copy a .deb file on another computer and install it with sudo dpkg -i path/to/yourfile.deb There is one big problem: the package will probably have dependencies which dpkg doesn't take account for. In the case of a disconnected pc I recommend the Debian operating system with only free repositories enabled because this way you can download all the debian dvds which contains their whole repository and use apt for installing software. So you won't have to struggle with dependencies. I don't know if trisquel has images of the whole repository, too.

I don't know if trisquel has images of the whole repository, too. trisquel doesn't offer anything similar.

Instead of dpkg, you can install gdebi, a GUI based package installer. You will have to connect to a Trisquel repo once to install it, though. http://packages.trisquel.info/toutatis/gdebi
