pip install offline whl file

Sometimes, you may need to install Python packages on a system without internet access. In such cases, you can use a Wheel (.whl) file to install the package offline. A Wheel file is a binary distribution format that contains all the necessary files for a Python package.
First, you need to download the Wheel file for the package you want to install. You can do this on a machine with internet access and then transfer the file to the offline machine.
For example, let's say you want to install the requests library. You can download the Wheel file from PyPI. Look for the appropriate version and download the corresponding Wheel file (usually ending with .whl).
Transfer the downloaded Wheel file to the offline machine using a USB drive, network transfer, or any other means.
Now, on the machine without internet access, open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved the Wheel file.
Use the pip install command along with the path to the Wheel file to install the package.
For example:
This command installs the requests library from the Wheel file.
After the installation is complete, you can verify that the package has been installed successfully by opening a Python interpreter and trying to import the package.
This should print the version number of the installed requests library.
That's it! You have successfully installed a Python package offline using a Wheel file. Repeat these steps for any other packages you need to install on the offline machine.
