Closed 2 years ago.
I am running my python application that has requirements.txt
file which contains various dependencies. I am deploying this application in a Pivotal Cloud Foundry environment. However, the environment I am deploying in it airgapped. Therefore I can't seem to get the dependencies.
The Git repo for python CF buildpack suggests that if an application has a vendor
directory then it might get the dependencies from there: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/python-buildpack/blob/master/bin/steps/pip-install#L18
My question is, how can I download the dependencies mentioned in my requirements.txt
file locally into a vendor
folder?
You can fetch all dependencies with the following command (an Internet connection is of course required)
pip download -r requirements.txt
Then, you can install offline those dependencies with the following command
pip install -r requirements.txt --no-index --find-links file:///tmp/packages
--no-index
: Ignore package index (only looking at --find-links
URLs instead).
-f, --find-links <URL>
: If a URL or path to an html file, then
parse for links to archives. If a local path or file://
URL that's a directory, then look for
archives in the directory listing.

Look at: http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/python/index.html#vendor-app-dependencies
tl;dr pip install --download vendor -r requirements.txt
Just use pip to install on the dev box and then check that in.
