Use the --download-only flag.

$ conda install --help
usage: conda install [-h] [--revision REVISION] [-y] [--dry-run] [-f]
                     [--file FILE] [--no-deps] [--only-deps] [-m] [-C]

  --download-only       Solve an environment and ensure package caches are
                        populated, but exit prior to unlinking and linking
