PIP Local Repository

Fetch Installation PIP Packages

On a machine which have Internet connection , fetch back the packages and its dependencies, save them in a specified node.

$ mkdir ~/pipcache2
$ pip install cloudmonkey --download=~/pipcache2
$ ls pipcache2
argcomplete-0.8.9.tar.gz    Pygments-2.0.2.tar.gz
cloudmonkey-5.3.1-0.tar.gz  requests-2.7.0.tar.gz
prettytable-0.7.2.tar.bz2

Using Local PIP Packages

Sync the directory to a remote machine, which didn't have the internet connection, install it via:

#  pip install --no-index --find-links ~/pipcache2 cloudmonkey

End Of This Section

By now we have installed all of the necessary packages using local repository, so in next chapter we will use Ansible way for installing the CloudStack, based on our previous manual installation and generated repository, using Ansible will be quite clear and quick for deploying all of the components.
