To install [Elasticsearch Curator](http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/curator-tending-your-time-series-indices/) offline, you will first need to have [pip](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip) installed on the offline host. Then you will be able to install Curator by following the procedure below:
1. Download the required packages on a online host using wget:
2. Copy the packages over to the offline host
3. Login to the offline host and install the copied packages using pip.
Note that argparse needs to be installed only if python version is \< 2.7.
Also version of the packages in wget commands reflect current version at this time.
