I want to ask something, I am still beginner with Salix os

Can I install applications offline?
If can how?
because I do not have internet connection so I had to go to the internet rental (in my country called "Warnet (Warung Internet)" to download a application

Thanks for the answer

Of course you can.
1) Download your packages of choice on another workstation, preferably to USB stick or anywhere you can save them. Make note of needed dependencies if any and download them as well. You might want to use a separate folder for each package and their dependencies.
2) Go home, transfer to your hard drive, for example 'Download' or 'Packages' directory.
3) Switch to this directory and open a shell (terminal), become root with su, start pkgtool and install with first option: from the current directory.

You now have installed your applications and libraries offline.

Hope this helps.
