easy_install and offline installation in virtualenv og TG2

[alind]

I want to install tg2 on an offline machine.
I have downloaded all the eggs using this command:

mkdir tg2_offline
cd tg2_offline
easy_install -zmaxd . TurboGears2

Now as the docs suggest I should copy this directory (tg2_offline)
into the offline machine and run
cd tg2_offline
easy_install -f . TurboGears

Now I dont want a system wide installation. I want to set up the
virtualenv environent just like done by this command on online
machine.python tg2-bootstrap.py --no-site-packages tg2env

python tg2-bootstrap.py --no-site-packages tg2env

and then use as source bin/activate
KIndly guide me through this.
Thanks in advance.
PS: tg2_offline is the name given by me to the dir just to be more
clear.

I don't think this works. But it shouldn't be hard to install:

- create the virtualenv yourself, using "virtualenv tg2env". of course
you need the virtualenv-egg as well, and that must be installed
beforehand! Generelly, you need setuptools installed, if that's not on
your machine, I'm not sure how to do that.

- use easy_install with a "-i" option with a file-url that points to
your egg-dir, that *should* work. If it doesn't, then you should be able
to do "easy_install *.egg" inside the egg-dir also.

I am able to go upto some distance but again got stuck. I will
describe wht I have done.
cd ../tg2_offline
virtualenv tg2env
source tg2env/bin/activate
easy_install -i tg2_offline TurboGears2

everything went smoothly upto here. After that I try using 'paster
quickstart' command, but it is not having that quickstart.
paster --help shows only tg-info part

$paster --help

--plugin=PLUGINS Add a plugin to the list of commands (plugins are

You are missing the tg-devtools package.

Thanks Diez.
That worked like a charm. I followed these steps:

cd tg2_offline
easy_install -zmaxd . tg.devtools
cd ..
virtualenv tg2env
source tg2env/bin/activate
easy_install -i tg2_offline TurboGears2 tg.devtools

Now that quickstart thing is coming. I will keep informing about any
other roadblocks. Thanks a lot.
Also I think that this process should be placed in the tg2 docs.

Sorry to bother you guys again. But again while downloading tg2 for
offline with say install, I am facing a version problem for
zapo.interface.
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse
('zope.interface==3.3.1') (--always-copy skips system and development
eggs)
The reason is the absence of that particular version .
But the tg2booststrp.py does fine and downloads the latest versions.
So I think that there must be some falg /option given in
tg2bootstrap.py for downloading eggs for offline installation.
- I am ecpecting a solution from tg2bootstrap.py maintainers/
developers.

I guess you have a different version of zope.interface already installed in
your system. I don't know where this --alway-copy comes from - but you should
try that, if 'tis part of tg2bootstrap.py

Alternatively, you can

- use --no-site-packages when creating the virtualenv
- de-install the zope.interface-package with your package management tool

Hi Diez,
As i am downloading it and then try to install from the downloaded
thing in a virtual env, there should not be a problem with the already
installed thing. As what is happening is that easy_install of
TurboGears2 is dowloading an older version of zope interface from
pypi. While the tg2bootstrap.py installation goes smoothly.
