How to deploy a Django app onto a server that cannot use pip

I have a Django app that I need to deploy in a local intranet, which doesn't have internet access. I will be bringing over my codebase with a USB key.

Typically, when deploying a Django app, the first thing you do is run pip install -r requirements.txt to gather all of your dependencies before launch. How can you package up a Django application so that it is entirely self-contained, without requiring pip?

You can install pip without internet access by copying this file first: get-pip.py.

You'll then need to download the packages pip and setuptools from PyPI and place them in a local directory called dependencies. This directory will contain all required .tar.gz and/or .whl files.

You can then install pip by doing:

python get-pip.py --no-index --find-links=dependencies

After that you can install all other dependencies (also in the dependencies directory) by doing:

pip install --no-index --find-links=dependencies -r requirements

So you can download these separately and copy them along on the USB stick.
