Hi, you can use Keyrx (http://keryxproject.org/) to install software on your offline machine (Will take care of all the dependencies). It is always easier to install a deb package then to compile software so another good source for debs is getdebs (http://www.getdeb.net/) (Will manually need to take care of dependencies).
