Installation of logstash-input-kafka without internet connection

Elastic Stack Logstash

Hi,
I want to install logstash-input-kafka without internet connection on the server.
After a lot of search, I have downloaded a gem file: logstash-input-kafka-4.2.0.gem

Now, I am running the command

# /opt/logstash-5.5.0/bin/logstash-plugin install  logstash-input-kafka-4.2.0.gem

Of course, without Internet connection, I cannot ping repo.maven.apache.org
How can I finish my installation ?
thanks for your tips

very easy if you work for a bank without internet connection :wink:
So, I prepare the zip file on my personal computer and download on the server,

unzip /tmp/logstash-input420.zip

ls -lR /tmp/logstash
