I have just run into this exact issue. Has anyone found a resolution?

User Stories: As a user of VI Package Manager on a system that is not connected to the internet, I want to output a list of dependencies for a package so I can go download them. As a developer I would like to get a list of packages and dependencies to add to my software's documentation.

Jim, Thank you. Your first answer wouldn't work in my use case as we don't have permission to install VIPM on the internet enabled computer. However, your second answer is exactly what I needed. I need to be able to download the package, burn it to disk, and sneaker-net it to the development (not internet connected) network. I'm off for Thanksgiving but I'll give it a test when I'm back at work. It lets me download a package at home so it looks like it will work for me. Thank you for the quick turn around! --Q

How can I download a package off of VIPM.io so that I can transfer it to a non networked computer for install? I can’t find a way to download it. It just wants to invoke the VIPM application to do the install. I’m downloading on a computer that doesn’t and can’t have the VIPM application installed.
