How to install tensorflow on a offline computer

Question

I am trying to install tensorflow on a machine with no internet access: the machine has Windows 7 and Python 3.6 Anaconda.

I tried different approaches but non of them worked.

This what i did so far:

• install anaconda with python 3.6
• pip install tensorflow tensorflow-1.3.0-cp36-cp36m-win_and64.whl

But when I try to import tensorflow i get the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module name google

I have read that I should install protobuf-3.6.tar.gz but I get the error :register_loader_type...

So I installed setuptools-3.6-py2.py3-none-any.whl

and I still get the same error

So my question is: is there any way to install tensorflow on a offline computer or there is something that I did wrong?

NOTE: I am admin on this offline machine

Answer 1

python3 -m pip download tensorflow on a machine with internet with the same OS. You will download all the needed packages to the current directory. Move the files onto a USB, mount the USB on the device without internet, and then do python3 -m pip install --no-index --find-links . tensorflow in the directory with the copied .whl files.

Answer 2

create anaconda conda virtul environment in some internet available system and install necessary package for your project and copy virtual environment to you system. put inside anaconda env, it works
