On the Internet-less computer:

  • Open the Unity Dash, type "Terminal" and press enter
  • In the new window enter PACKAGENAME=<The name of the Package to install> and press enter
  • The enter this:
    apt-get -qqs install $PACKAGENAME | grep Inst | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-cache show | grep 'Filename: ' | awk '{print $2}' | while read filepath; do echo "wget \"http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/${filepath}\""; done >downloader.sh
  • A ready-to-use downloader for the package has now been created in you home folder
  • Open your home directory in the file browser and move the file downloader.sh to the top-level directory of your flash drive
  • Eject your flash drive

On the computer with Internet:

  • Open the flash drive in a terminal:
    • Insert your flash drive
    • Open your flash drive in the file browser
    • Type <Ctrl>L and then <Ctrl>C (This will copy the location of your flash drive)
    • Open the Unity Dash, type "Terminal" and press enter
    • In the Terminal type this: cd <Ctrl><Shift>V<Enter> (This will move you to the directory of the flash drive)
  • Type sh downloader.sh and press enter
  • Wait for the download to complete
  • Eject your flash drive

Back to the Internet-less computer:

  • Open the flash drive in a terminal:
    • Insert your flash drive
    • Open your flash drive in the file browser
    • Type <Ctrl>L and then <Ctrl>C (This will copy the location of your flash drive)
    • Open the Unity Dash, type "Terminal" and press enter
    • In the Terminal type this: cd <Ctrl><Shift>V<Enter> (This will move you to the directory of the flash drive)
  • Type sudo dpkg --install *.deb and press enter
  • Wait for the package to install

Note: This will only work with packages for the Ubuntu archive!
