How do I install ansible-lint offline without using pip3?

[huitingyeong]

Hi I would like to install ansible-lint in a secure environment that does not have network connection and pip3. Is it possible?

pip 19.0+ is required for installation (https://ansible-lint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing/#from-source) so that will be tricky.
otherwise download the source from e.g https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/releases/tag/v6.4.0 and install.

even in an air-gapped environment you will have to update and install things, so perhaps request pip to be included in the allowed application list?

There are lots of options:

• use pip to download all wheels and install from local cache, including pip itself
• use a pre-built container (like our creator-ee)
• use a system packages version (if your distro has it)
• host your own pypa registry (it is just a simple webserver)

but w/o a network (I assume no internet access), those are tricky as well.

Hi @konstruktoid How would I use pip3 to install the download tar.gz source file?

pip3 install <directory>

But not having access to the Internet or a internal cache will cause a lot of work, since you still need to install any dependencies.

Think I figured out my issue. Thought my installation command had a problem but it seems to be pip version is too low (9.X). Will try to figure that out. Thanks all for the kind guidance so far!
