Moving Python venv to another machine without internet

I am trying to deploy a Python project to a machine with no internet. Because it has no internet, I cannot pip install any packages with a requirements.txt file. I am wondering if it is possible to move my existing environment with all installed packages into another machine with all packages pre-installed.

I can also use attempt to use Docker for this installation. Would I be able to pre-install all the packages within a Docker container and then copy all the files onto another VM?

On you local machine (adapt the instructions if you are on Windows)

  1. Create your requirements.txt file
(venv) [...]$ mkdir pkgs
(venv) [...]$ cd pkgs
(venv) [...]$ pip freeze > requirements.txt
(venv) [...]$ pip download -r requirements.txt

  1. Download pip archive from here

  2. Copy pkgs folder to the remote machine

On the remote machine:

  1. Install pip from archive
(venv) [...]$ cd pkgs
# --- unarchive pip.tar.gz ---
(venv) [...]$ python setup.py install
  1. Install packages
(venv) [...]$ pip install --no-index --find-links . -r requirements.txt
