I am running Ubuntu 12.04 in our production system. How do I install GNU Parallel in my system? My system is behind a firewall so it will block any download from external connection.

If you have physical access you could download the package parallel_20130922-1_all.deb from https://packages.debian.org/sid/parallel and install like any other debian package. You may also need to locate and obtain the packages it depends on and install them first. Always Insure that you have recent backups and a recovery plan before making changes to a production system. Of course you probably already know that.

Full disclosure. I have neither tried nor tested this. The answer is based on experience with installing other debian packages under ubuntu, nothing more

You can install with dpkg -i pkgname, if you have unresolved dependencies you may wish to check this thread
