Hi Floriane, I'm afraid that what firedrake-install does is downloads and builds firedrake and all its components so it's not going to work without internet access. Also note that firedrake-update works by downloading updates to firedrake so even if you manage to install once with no network, updating is not going to work. Now, what you in principle can do is manually set up all the dependencies of firedrake on the cluster (assuming you can find a way of copying them to the cluster) and then build everything in a virtualenv yourself, but this is not going to be a lot of fun. You should also be aware that cluster environments are somewhat different from the usual PC environment. You in particular need to make sure you pick up the officially blessed MPI implementation in order to access the high speed network correctly. It may also be necessary to load environment modules or take other steps in order to access the right compilers, Python or even git.

Dear all,
Is it possible to install Firedrake without internet connection ? I managed to get the firedrake-install file, and I get the following error when running it:
[fgidel@marclus3login2 ~]$ python firedrake-install --no-package-manager apt-get not found or disabled. Proceeding on the rash assumption that your compiled dependencies are in place. If this is not the case, please install the following and try again: * A C and C++ compiler (for example gcc/g++ or clang), GNU make * A Fortran compiler (for PETSc) * MPI * Blas and Lapack * Git, Mercurial * Python version 2.7 * pip and the Python headers * autoconf, automake, libtool * CMake * zlib Creating firedrake virtualenv. /home/fgidel/firedrake/bin/pip install -U pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in ./firedrake/lib/python2.7/site-packages Cloning firedrake

I know that the cluster on which I am trying to install it has no access to internet. Is it the reason for the error ? How could I manage to install firedrake despite that ?
Thanks and best regards,
Floriane
