Hi there, I recently used Ansible successfully on a machine with enternet access. I am now trying to use Ansible on a Linux master server that is completely locked down(no internet access at all) So I have downloaded a tarball from [releases.ansible.com](http://releases.ansible.com/), and looked at “[running form source](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_installation.html)” to get instructions to continue, without success. the page just mentioned suggests the following command: source ./hacking/env-setup …but neither ./hacking nor env-setup exists Any one out there that could help me out here? Kind Regards Hubrecht ---

It’s probably a better idea to download an RPM (or deb) for your distro, or the pip package, and install those. Then you don’t need to run the ‘env-setup’ script. Running ‘make install’ in the extracted directory you have now should also suffice. ---

Mark, I’ve been looking around for an RPM or pip package with all the dependencies wrapped in together. I have five RH6 servers on an isolated/closed network. I’ve, like Hubrecht, attempted to use the tarball to no avail. I’m getting an error about when the installation script (setup.py) tries to fetch pycrypto. Any ideas? ---

It’s usually not a great practice to bundle an RPM and all its deps. If you need an offline install, I’d recommend downloading the necessary RPMs (anisble, pycrypto, paramiko) and using either `yum localinstall` or `rpm -i` on the airgapped machines. ---

Anybody found out a solution for a no-internet-installation ??? I’m facing the same problem. I want to install ansible on a SLES 12sp3 server with absolutly no external access… I have fetched a tarbal of the current installation (ansible 2.6.2) but I dont’ know what’s the other stuff ansible need to work (dependencies) ? The ideal would be to have a static package (a snap ?) that one can install and not disturb anything on the original server. Regards, BT
