Problem installing django on a virtual machine with no access to pypi.org
Question:
I developed a relatively simple site with Django and I need to deploy it on a Windows VM hosted on a PC on the local network.
These are the requirements:
requirements.txt
asgiref==3.5.0
autopep8==1.6.0
Django==4.0.3
Pillow==9.0.1
pycodestyle==2.8.0
sqlparse==0.4.2
toml==0.10.2
tzdata==2022.1
Having no access to the internet, I followed these steps:
PC With Internet
mkdir dependencies
pip download -r requirements.txt -d "./dependencies"
tar cvfz dependencies.tar.gz dependencies
I then moved the tar file on the VM and did the following:
tar zxvf dependencies.tar.gz
cd dependencies
for %x in (dir *.whl) do pip install %x --no-index --force-reinstall
The above commands resulted in this pip freeze:
asgiref @ file:///C:/website/packages/dependencies/asgiref-3.5.0-py3-none-any.whl
Pillow @ file:///C:/website/packages/dependencies/Pillow-9.0.1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl
pycodestyle @ file:///C:/website/packages/dependencies/pycodestyle-2.8.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
sqlparse @ file:///C:/website/packages/dependencies/sqlparse-0.4.2-py3-none-any.whl
toml @ file:///C:/website/packages/dependencies/toml-0.10.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl
tzdata @ file:///C:/website/packages/dependencies/tzdata-2022.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
As you can see Django and autopep8 fail to install even though the requirements should be met. What am I missing?
Any help pointing me to the solution would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks

Answers:
After unpacking the archive in the vm, use the --find-links option.
pip install -r requirements.txt -f ./dependencies --no-index
EDIT
I still don’t know the exact reason the command embedded in the for loop fails, but it seems to be the main responsible for the installation problems.
This is the final procedure for setting up the VM locally just by moving the requirements.txt and the dependencies.tar.gz files inside the same folder.
VM :
tar zxvf dependencies.tar.gz
pip install -r requirements.txt -f ./dependencies --no-index
