You really should poke around the Anaconda community for this.  From
some earlier research I did when someone asked me a question (not here
on tutor), I recall conda used to have some unfortunate dependencies on
having an internet connection, and they've done quite a lot of work on
making what you want possible.  I think there are minimum versions you
need, and some flags you need (some kind of --offline thing) but those
folks know about this scenario.  I have no idea how you do the
"install", so I'll just stop writing now...
