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](http://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 😉  
So, I prepare the zip file on my personal computer and download on the server,

Did you also try following the instructions for how to install offline plugin packs?
