I think currently there is no way of doing that, see

> Hey everyone, I’m trying to use julia 1.0 on our cluster. It is not connected to the internet (login via login-server) so I can’t use the standard procedure to install the packages I need. I read [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/offline-package-installation/7880) that one option should be able to set up the .julia folder on a separate computer and copy it to the cluster. (But maybe that was only true for pre-1.0?) I tried it but got the following error ERROR: LoadError: InitError: /home/isensee/.julia/packages/SpecialFunctions/fvheQ/deps/usr/lib/lib…

However, I think you can try installing in another computer, and then copy the ~/.julia directory to the offline computer. Sometimes it gives problem by differences in the systems, but it is the simpler way. I suggest you to test it.
