In Julia, A package can be installed through using Pkg; Pkg.add("PyPlot") directly.

What is the use case? Are you behind a firewall?

I mean, you could use portable Julia on an USB stick, install it at a location that has internet and then use this USB stick on the computer without internet.

Another possibility is to download the git repository to a usb stick, plug that into your computer and then in package mode do

(@v1.7) pkg> add /local/path/to/git/repo

I did as per your suggestion, which asked for some more packages, I added manually.

Finally getting the following error:

(@v1.6) pkg> add /home/sachin/PyPlot.jl/
Updating git-repo `/home/sachin/PyPlot.jl`

Could you help me out ?

I just realized that PyPlot will be relying on an internet connection to search for and install packages it depends on. So my suggestion is not really feasible for PyPlot and would only work if you add all dependencies manually. :see_no_evil:

I would go for ufechner’s suggestion.
