Installing a package from a server location

Currently building a program which requires certain packages. I have created multiple scripts which automatically install these from a folder. Locally (with internet) this works fine, but on the server (no internet) it keeps trying to connect to the internet.

I've put the packages in a folder and I refer to this folder in the Python script.

Following code works locally, but not on the server: 

import os
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.getcwd()))
importpath = os.getcwd() + '\Packages'
os.chdir(importpath)

try:
    from openpyxl import load_workbook
    print('Openpyxl is already installed')
except ImportError:
    from pip._internal import main as pip
    pip(['install', '--user', 'openpyxl-2.5.11.tar.gz'])
    from openpyxl import load_workbook

How can I make it so that PIP will only install from the specific tar.gz and will not try to connect to the internet?

Edit: Install paths have to be relative

Use --find-links argument.

Following example installs package from current directory and all dependencies would be searched in ~/packages

pip3 install --find-links=~/packages .
