Install python package without internet connection

Question

I need to install python packages with pip on a machine without internet access. To do that, I tried to download these packages from the following link : https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ I thought the whl files are complete packages but when I try to install with pip I get the following error

pip install .\pyproj-3.2.1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl

        WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewC
    onnectionError('<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000000F76ABA6EC0>: Failed to establish a new
     connection: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it')': 

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement certifi (from pyproj) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for certifi

The packages I need to install are:

Numpy
GDAL
PYPROJ
FIONA
SHAPELY
GEOPANDAS

I also tried with pip download on my local machine with internet connection but when I try to use the generated whl I get the same issue

How should I proceed to install theses packages?

This looks like there were some dependecies. Packages often are built on top of others (e.g. `pandas` needs `numpy` to function). But without knowing either your packages now command/s, we can only make assumptions. — white, Nov 12 '21 at 07:13
Yes that was also my assumption that it needs other dependencies. I have edited my post with more details — riuss, Nov 12 '21 at 07:28

pip install --no-index --find-links=<lolcal-folder> <package-name>

e.g.

I finally found a solution. I don't know if it's the best way to do it but it works.

On a machine with internet I installed all the required packages in a virtual environment.
I created a requirement.txt with pip freeze > requirements.txt.
I used pip download -r requirement.txt to download the packages
I copied it onto the other machine.
I created a new requirements.txt with the filenames (ls > requirements.txt).
I installed the packages with pip install -r requirements.txt.
