How to do an "semi-offline" install on Linux?
Hi! I want to install calibre on a CentOS/RHEL 7 Linux system (accessing the UI via X from another machine).

On the Linux system I cannot download large files. (I do have internet, but not for large files.)
  1. So I thought I download the calibre-4.10.1-x86_64.txz archive somewhere else and transfer it via local network to a folder on the Linux machine.

    How can I tell the installer linux-installer.sh to use this local archive file instead of downloading it from the internet? In the installer script I found the environment variable CALIBRE_INSTALLER_LOCAL_URL - can I set that to a normal file path (like "/my/path/to/calibre.txz")
  2. Also will the installer download other big files subsequently? How can I find out which ones?
Not sure whether this is the right sub-forum, so please let me know if it is wrong here.
