[Koha] Installation from Source Code

[Franz Dietrich]

It is quite possible but a lot of work... I think it would be easier to 
carry the server to an internet access install and setup everything then 
bring it back to where it is supposed to run.

because else the sourcecode is only the first bit. You are needing all 
the dependencies like SQL, PHP, etc. In addition to that you need all 
development packages if you are building from source.

So if it must be without internet I would setup a similar ubuntu with 
internet access and install koha on it carefully noting everything that 
has been installed and then download all those packages manually 
transfer them to the server and install them there. - but still it is 
rather unlikely that you will manage to install the server without 
internet in case of problems (especially since this seems to be your 
first koha install).

Another variant would be to create a virtual machine on a computer with 
internet. Setup everything on the virtual machine and then transfer the 
virtual machine to the target.

hope that helps.
