[...] Generally speaking, it is *really hard* to copy an installed suite of applications from one machine to another. It's usually best to get an off-line (no internet access) installer, copy it to the machine, then run the installer. This isn't true in all cases, but many application installers make changes to (for example) hidden files, registry settings, environment variables etc and if you miss copying or duplicating even one, the application will not work correctly. For an extremely specialised question like this, you should talk to Conda specialists, or Conda themselves. We know the Python language, we're not experts on the internal details of what it takes for Conda's suite of tools to work. Possibly Conda provides a CD or DVD off-line installer? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Conda+off-line+installer Another possibility is to build a desktop machine with Conda on-line, install everything you need, then copy that to a virtual machine and copy the VM to the university computer. Talk to the university's system administrator about the possibility of running a VM on the computer. Another possibility is that your installation of Conda is fine, but whatever function you tried using assumes that there is some sort of network connection available, and if it is not available, the function simply fails. If that's the case, you might be stuck: unless Conda fix the bug in the function, it won't work without a network connection. Or perhaps you can talk to the sys admin about turning on the network software on the computer, even if it isn't connected to anything. That might be enough to allow the function to work. (Perhaps it tries to connect to localhost, and if that fails, the whole thing dies.) -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
