Surely, its possible.

Pkg.dir() # => get you the package installation path

check the pkg.julialang.org/ address to get the right package and click on its github link, then you can download a zip archive from github.com and extract it into Pkg.dir()
BUT you may taking yourself into trouble
because you must do many optional things manually, e.g.:

  • rename folder to remove .jl
  • build steps
  • install all related packages

I think a better way is to install Pkgs on a connected machine and then copy Pkg.dir() contents from that machine, to your system. this approach would works well only if both machines are of the same architecture (cpuX os julia-version).
