Can I install Django as offline in Windows 7?

Question

I'm new to Python and PyCharm. When I'm trying to make a Django project, it shows an error box. Later I found that it's due to no availability of internet connection on my PC.

Is there any way to install Django as offline in Windows 7 PC?

Solution

If you need to perform an offline installation of Django:

1. Download a Django release on a machine with internet connection from https://github.com/django/django/releases
2. As of Django 1.11, pytz is a dependency. Download the latest wheel from pypi
3. Transfer the downloaded files to the offline PC
4. Install pytz: pip install pytz-2017.3-py2.py3-none-any.whl (update filename as appropriate)
5. Install Django: pip install <release-name>.zip

For example, if you downloaded django-1.9.2.zip from Github, you can install it by running

pip install django-1.9.2.zip
