I have a Windows machine with internet and an Ubuntu 16.04 machine without an internet connection, and I need build-essentials to compile some of my code. I've read about it online, but I'm having trouble finding a documented way of doing this. What are my options for installing build-essentials offline?

In your Ubuntu machine run:

apt-get install build-essential  --print-uris -y | grep -Po "http.*?deb"

it gives you a list of links to deb package (build-essential and its dependecies).

Download them using Windows and finally move them into:

/var/cache/apt/archive

then again run:

sudo apt install build-essential

to install it.
