Installing Jupyter Notebook on a machine without internet - Getting ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement

This answer (and the one above it) explains a way to install pip requirements on an offline machine by first involving a machine with internet:

If you want install python libs and their dependencies offline, finish following these steps on a machine with the same os, network connected, and python installed:

  1. Create a requirements.txt file with similar content (Note - these are the libraries you wish to download):

    Flask==0.12 requests>=2.7.0 scikit-learn==0.19.1 numpy==1.14.3 pandas==0.22.0

One option for creating the requirements file is to use pip freeze > requirements.txt. This will list all libraries in your environment. Then you can go in to requirements.txt and remove un-needed ones.

  1. Execute command mkdir wheelhouse && pip download -r requirements.txt -d wheelhouse to download libs and their dependencies to directory wheelhouse

  2. Copy requirements.txt into wheelhouse directory

  3. Archive wheelhouse into wheelhouse.tar.gz with tar -zcf wheelhouse.tar.gz wheelhouse

Then upload wheelhouse.tar.gz to your target machine:

  1. Execute tar -zxf wheelhouse.tar.gz to extract the files

  2. Execute pip install -r wheelhouse/requirements.txt --no-index --find-links wheelhouse to install the libs and their dependencies

This is exactly what I'm doing, except my requirements.txt, for now, is just:

notebook==7.0.0a4

which is Jupyter Notebook.

But oddly, I'm getting the error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyzmq>=17 (from jupyter-server) (from versions: none)                                      
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyzmq>=17

I figured out how to make progress on this error:

  • Adding pyzmq==17 to my requirements.txt

But then the same error appears for a similar package, so it seems like I could just keep explicitly adding these packages to requirements.txt but that seems a bit less than optimal, especially if there are a lot of packages to add. Is there something I could add to the wheel building command to get all these dependencies included without doing so manually?

pip pypi python

Sounds like you've followed step 1, one and manually created the requirements.txt with the contents notebook==7.0.0a4, but missed the part where it say's:

One option for creating the requirements file is to use pip freeze > requirements.txt. This will list all libraries in your environment. Then you can go in to requirements.txt and remove un-needed ones.

If I manually install notebook, on the "internet connected" computer (probably best use a fresh virtual env to prevent other project's deps leaking in) with:

pip install notebook==7.0.0a4

Then export the requirements with:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

This gives me a requirements.txt file containing:

I think this is how to make the requirements file, which you then feed into step 2 meaning all the required deps go into the wheelhouse for export to the "offline computer".
