Installing and running a haskell package offline

I'm trying to run duckling (https://github.com/facebook/duckling) on a Windows server.

Unfortunately, the server only has intranet access and no internet access. How do I set up Haskell to be able to build and run a package without internet access?

The first method that comes to mind is using a same architecture machine that does have internet access to fetch the toolchain and dependencies, before transferring those to the offline build machine. Something like using stack build --prefetch --install-ghc --dry-run, then copying the stack tool, stack root, compiler (listed by stack path) and your project. I suspect someone has made a better procedure for this.

Some discussion: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/359 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/haskell-stack/LHG9DSrz8k8

Another option might be setting up your own mirror of the packages, and pointing stack to those using options like latest-snapshot-url and package-indices. offline-stack appears to collect some steps of this.
