I have a requirement to install firedrake & thetis offline on a cluster - before I start bumbling around does anyone have any advice on how best to install firedrake & thetis:
a)       Offline
b)      On a cluster
 
I appreciate this is too little info to give any detailed advice but I just wanted to test the water for what I am getting myself into!

PETSc, which is a major part of this, allows providing local paths to the packages it installs.

In theory this might be possible via firedrake-install. Chasing all the python dependencies is going to be tricky.

If the system is "standard" you could install on a machine that has internet access in the same directory structure you're eventually going to use, zip it up, and transfer it over.

One asks why you need to do this. If you have ssh access to the machine in question, I would set up a reverse-tunnelled proxy to send everything through.

Cheers,

Lawrence
