Yes, there is an “offline” installer in development. Try the “meta” repository at https://github.com/zopencommunity/meta/releases, I believe that is where it is being developed.
You can also try browsing the “System Z Enthusiasts” Discord forums or even ask there about the status of the offline installer in the “zopen-community” area. If your employer’s firewall forbids access to Discord (my employer’s network does not permit it either) it is worth trying from your home or cell phone browser (FWIW, I find it easier to use my home PC browser – bigger screen, bigger text for old eyes), plus there is a Discord app for your phone (the free version works just fine for the Z discussion areas). Look for Igor Todorovski’s posts in the "#zopen-community" area about the “offline installer” I *think* this is the latest version of the offline installer, dated October 2025: https://github.com/zopencommunity/metaport/releases/download/STABLE_metaport_3828/meta-main.20251021_153935.zos.pax.Z HTH Peter From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jake Anderson Sent: Tuesday, December 9, 2025 1:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Open source tools for z I tried with zopen install but it connects Internet from mainframe to install packages, our mainframe is not connected to Web. Is there a way to install in offline mode?
