Offline installation

[Remifa2]

Hi

I downloaded the mido package mido-1.3.0.tar.gz, but the installation process failed. It seems to need an Internet connection and that's impossible with my gapped PC. The version of Python I'm running is 3.11.1, but I also found a version 3.8.1 installation that came with BespokeSynth. They are in totally different folders.

Here is the info I got :

py -m pip install "C:...\mido-1.3.0.tar.gz"

Processing c:\...\mido-1.3.0.tar.gz

I'm new to Python and I don't know how to solve this and ask your kind help.

Hi, sorry to hear that.

I have revamped the packaging method and we now have a few dependencies that we didn't previously.
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do on our end as this is a pip issue.

You'll have to download them all with pip download on the Internet connected machine.
You may have to specify --python-version & --platform for the target machine.
Please see the pip documentation: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_download/

Don't forget to grab the dependencies for a backend if you want to use ports.
For the default rtmidi backend, you'll want to use pip download mido[ports-rtmidi] to grab mido and all the required dependencies.
See our documentation for more informations: https://mido.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installing.html

Furthermore, the error message hints at the setuptools package being obsolete. You'll want to download and install it first.
As a safety precaution I would also download and install the latest pip & wheel packages before.

Finally, if you have multiple Python installations, please use the latest version. mido should work with any Python >= 3.7.
Since you seem to be using the Windows python launcher, you can use py --list to see all installed versions and specify the version on subsequent invocations:
i.e. for Python 3.11: py -3.11 -m pip [...]

Good luck and let me know if you need further help.

Since this is not a bug and the solution may help other users, I'll convert the issue to a discussion.

I downloaded wheel (https://pypi.org/project/wheel/) not "wheels". Is that ok?

[rdoursenaud]

Yes, sorry for the typo. I edited with the correction.

Thanks for your precious help. I'll report back next week as I'm away for a few days.

You're welcome, hope everything works out!
